It Seems That All The Musical Legends Are Being Called Home.Songwriter And Bassist Extraordinaire Louis Johnson Died On May 21, 2015 At The Age Of Sixty. His Incredible Talent Was Brought To The Masses By Iconic Music Producer Quincy Jones. As One Half Of The Brothers Johnson, Louis Saw His Talent Garnering Acclaim As His One-Of-A-Kind Basslines Challenged Bass Players All Over The World To Go Back To The Woodshed. The Brothers Johnson Made Platinum Album After Platinum Album, Capturing A Grammy For Their Instrumental "Q", Named For Their Mentor And Friend Quincy Jones. Louis Would Find Himself Playing On Some Of The Biggest Records For Some Of The Greatest Artists Of All Time, Including George Benson, Barbara Streisand, Michael McDonald, Paul McCartney, Aretha Franklin, George Duke, Herb Alpert, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson. The Unforgettable Baseline In "Billie Jean" Is All Louis. His Innovative Techniques And Love Of Music And Bass Has Impacted Generations. My Bass Hero "Thunder Thumbs" Has Left Us Some Mighty Big Shoes To Fill. Thank You For Sharing Your Gift With Us And Showing Us All The Glory Of Bass. You Will Be Missed!!! Much Love To The Man Responsible For Me Picking Up The Bass And Falling In Love With It. #RIP #Bassist #LouisJohnson #BrothersJohnson #BassPlayer #Bass ##GrammyWinner #SessionBassist #MellowMadness #LookOutFor#1#RightOnTime#Blam!!! #LightUpTheNight #Winners #TheLatestAndTheGreatest #Legend #ThunderThumbs #Passage #George&LouisJohnson

Well done Louis “Thunder Thumbs” Johnson.  Thank you for ALL the funky music, including this epic solo in “Stomp.”  Your signature slap bass lines can be heard in countless songs.  What a tremendous talent - your musical legacy will live forever.
