Happy 1st of October everyone.

[@NDGOCHYLD]

Love them! ❤ Thank you!!

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

Louis Johnson played with bassist Stanley Clarke's album in a dueling bassist solo. He was very respected as a great session bassist. My favorite song by Louis Johnson is actually on Michael Jackson album Off The Wall. The song "Get On The Floor" Louis Johnson's bass playing shines.

[@nate61]

Definitely one of my favorites made great memories of growing up listening to their music 🎶🎶🎶

[@VALERIESCOVERS-v3y]

Facts

[@carlbenson6412]

personally one of my all-time favorite groups. Bought every album from their 1st through 'Light Up The Night[ in high school. Louis 'Thunder Thumbs' Johnson.

[@lancebeamon9729]

From the first time I saw and heard them on Soul Train in support of Quincy Jones 1975 album "'Mellow Madness" on the track "Is It Love That Were Missing" I became one of this dynamic duo's biggest fans. I love all of their pop music, but I am particularly partial to the 12 inch version of "Get Tha Funk Outta My Face" and the 12 inch version of "Anit We Funkin Now."

[@sylvialawrence4431]

Their version of Strawberry Letter 23 always my favorite!! Now in my 70's and missing the 70s!😊❤

[@josebrown5961]

@@sylvialawrence4431 I like that you know that they are not the original artist. I didn’t know that until I was in my 30s. (The 90s) I like the original but love the Johnson’s version because of the Lee Ritenour guitar work.

[@BobKnight-mm2ze]

"70's and missing the 70s" like that a lot. I think I have to try to hang on till I'm in my 80's to talk about the 80's.

[@susanbrissett9882]

Stomp of course! o.g from england ❤

[@paytonbf1]

I’ve always loved The Brothers Johnson. In fact, the 1st record that I ever bought as a little kid was ‘Strawberry Letter 22’. Louis Johnson is my favorite bassist of all time. And my favorite songs by The Brothers Johnson is: ‘Get The Funk Outta My Face’, ‘I’ll Be Good To You’, ‘Stomp’, ‘Strawberry Letter 22’, ‘Streetwave’, and ‘Light Up The Night’!

[@bjlucas51]

I fell in love with them when I read about their "Strawberry Letter 23" album in Ecesence Magazine. Once I found their album that was it for me. Every time an album was released I had to have it! 😎

[@BoGooden-jt3xu]

Fav song by the Brothers Johnson is “I’ll Be Good to You”. Great Quincy Jones production

[@keynind2905]

I'll Be Good To You, Strawberry Letter & Get The Funk Outta My Face

[@troybranch]

Well done, sir , you did your homework.

[@cinnamonspice4389]

Stomp, you keep me coming back, looking out for number one, Tomorrow, I will be good to you, Strawberry letter 23, and many more.

[@scottbailey1560]

I love all their songs, but my favorite Brothers Johnson song is "Ain't We Funkin' Now" off the Blam album. Now (I'm chuckling), I'm white, and I was on the air working in Urban-Black Radio for the majority of my radio broadcasting career. I've been jammin' "Rock-n-Soul" since I was a kid! Today, I'm retired. George and Louis most definitely deserve to be in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame for all their fantastic contributions to contemporary music!

[@davidbranch1077]

@3:34..I remember sneaking to the radio and turned from the Christian radio station to Disco back in 1977 as an 8yr child...tho I think it was more like 1978.. My parents went grocery shopping and the girl next door was babysitting my siblings and I. Stomp, gimme a man after midnight, I was made for dancing... That night is still a big part of my childhood memory today. StarWars was a big movie and the Best Christmas catalog was part of a wish list that year. Those was the good ole days, R.I.P to both my parents.. Thank you for this brief moment in history....11:53am(11-2-24)❤💯👍

[@samuelmahmud1909]

Great video coverage Brother 💯 my favorite song from the Brothers Johnson is The Land of Ladies

[@pariswatkins626]

Strawberry Letter 23 should be an ice cream truck song

[@1599maybole]

Thanks again for a great presentation. Here in the UK Brothers Johnson were very popular in mainstream discos but also with hardcore contemporary soul fans such as at Blackpool Mecca and Cleethorpes Winter Gardens. Love Strawberry 23

[@juliobradford5606]

Thank you for showing this video!!!, I love your content!! Hopefully very soon your next video will be on the late music artist Colonel Abrams...

[@yoshluv7]

The song Q which is an instrumental, is it love that we're missing and Strawberry letter 23, Street Wave!!!!

[@lakesiabeavers4161]

I’ll be good to you, strawberry letter 23, stomp, those were my favorite songs, even the beats did something to me. You did it again WBPTV💐💐💐💐

[@gracethompson298]

Strawberry Letter 23, Stomp, This had to be, among others.

[@jdunn85]

The Baddest bass player ever was Louis Johnson but for some reason he is never mentioned that way...listen to that bass line on Michael Jackson's 'Triller' and 'Get on the floor'

[@randelldavis578]

One of my favorite is, I'll never leave you lonely, with get the funk out of my face and strawberry letter 23- I had a choice to buy a sandwich or buy the albums, the music won. I had to have it. Infact, when I bought strawberry letter 23, I didn't have anything to play it on at the time. I had to take it to a friend's house to play it because I knew he didn't have it yet

[@randelldavis578]

Thanks for the video, you've did a good job with it. I wanted to throw a name out there,if you will. Ray Parker Jr. Had a group called Raydio, it'll be nice to see a documentary video on them, or (unsung) Thanks for all you do.

[@FallGuy467]

​@@randelldavis578 There was an Unsung on Ray Parker Jr. a few years back.

[@cherylpoole6893]

Love all their music, particularly, Running for your Loving.

[@marcneubauer3422]

Loved it! Been a long-time fan of theirs too.Sadly Louis has passed away but his music will forever echo in our minds and hearts.But what about George? Is he still in music? Is he producing a younger lot of tamented musicians? The brothers have always had a fine sense of musicianship.Please give us fans a heads-up and as the brothers would have said back in the day: funkadelala😊

[@marcneubauer3422]

[@gittemal]

Best bass solo i witnessed in person! Their mother is from New Orleans.

[@Aaron-sf6jh]

How could you forget one of their best albums ever? I'm talking about the album 'Winners". This was their first album not produced by Quincy Jones! If you haven't heard this album, you really need to check it out!!!!

[@jevan40]

Thanks….

[@randydavison5847]

There's no other song in the solar system, similar to Strawberry Letter 23.

[@RobertMcQuillan-my3du]

Loves Louis on Herbie Manchild album

[@edwardgallman3629]

My favorite one was get the funk out of my face in my other favorite song was I'll be good to you I like everything about the Brothers Johnson I think they are good artists and the brothers they did really have a lot of fun that was a DJ and stuff at all different clubs and stuff so I was learning how to play my bass guitar in with looking at your play made me get more better and stuff and they had a lot of good songs that's when they did that song with Michael Jackson so you know both of them with the other one was played the lead guitar he's going to be missed and God bless the soul you know I know he's up here in heaven and what they were gone and probably his mother and stuff thank God I don't know where his other brother is the one who played the bass guitar but that's my buddy and our God bless him too for showing me that the only have to do is have faith and listen and play by ear and do your thing on that bass guitar and the rest do the rest by itself because you can't make a bass guitar talk to you as long as you got your fingers to move across it

Hey bro can I ask you a question do you remember the song by the Brothers Johnson called the devil it's on their first album look out for number one and it's the last track on side 2 on the A&M record label but to me the standout track on this album is land of ladies that's my favorite song I love women so that' song resonates with me very much so LOL

[@tracylee4451]

Strawberry Letter 23 is my favorite song

[@generalinformation3507]
