You are so right about Nard

Great to see them getting the props they deserve even if long overdue. One of my all-time favs. These guys were a huge ingredient of the funk era, in the days where you just put the album on, run side one then flip it and run side two. Legends!!!

He definitely needs his flowers

The Brothers Johnson, one of my top 2 favorite bands of the 70's and 80's.

Good Job !!! Giving These Brothers Their Flowers !!!

One of my favorites group ❤️

When that album first came out, I was 10 and my brother would play it all day all night so I was listening to it all day all night thanks for posting man. This group was truly truly truly underrated.

I was very lucky in 1982 Joining Slave as lead Singer Taking the great Steve Arrington's place on Bad Enuff and then lead Vocals on every song on New Plateau. I love these guys with all of my heart! Thank you for the feature on these incredibly Talented Musical pioneers!

I love them with everything until they came to Africa went back to America to say they will never visit Africa again, like its a piece of SHIT. On Right On mag they got hit back by a lot of Afro Americans, but still they are still my idols, I love sampling their stuffs. "Strawberry letter 22 and Aint you funking now" my best piece. RIP LOIUS "THUNDER BASS" JOHNSON

Great band

What about where they came up from, bro? They started out with Billy Preston and helped make him funkier. I discovered them on Quincy Jones' Mellow Madness album.

Thanks for giving them their flowers bruh.

we r amazing!

The baddest music 🎶 old school 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎵🎼🎶🙏🌏🎤

What was sad and not mentioned, fate would have it, they were not really on good talking terms before Louis died, George was upset because so many people were demanding Louis's bass services in their music and it affected them as being a group doing their music, he would miss important studio engagements and when he would come he would be so fatigued he would sometimes fall asleep and not know his parts, causing a tremendous strain among the brothers.

For some reason i could not like or subscribe. Press the buttons, nothing happened. Idk why

Thank you, ❤ this. ❤ them still. Q was my jammmm!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bernard Wright was the son of Roberta Flack ...

One of many underrated uk soul group never got their respect in England with the excellent late Diane Charlemagne ,good post.

Good band from the UK Soul Scene with LW5, Five Star, Total Contrast & many many others. Sampled so many many times on G-Funk...

The Greatest!!!

l love Listening To THE BROTHER JOHNSON All On My Playlist Pittsburgh P.A.🎉😂🎉

O yeah this is a great one, Solar was in comparison to Mo town records at one time.

That's Louis Johnson laying down the bass line on Jackson's "Billie Jean." These two LA brothers, along with another set of LA brothers (Porcaro) and their friends who made up Toto, would become part of a musical sessions force for recordings out of LA in the 70s and 80s.

UNDERDOGS....,LOL, according to WHOM? Both of these guys were accomplished musicians on the LA music scene in the 70's! They attended Crenshaw HS in LA, won a talent show, which lead to them being featured on an instrumental by Billy Preston "OUTTA Space", that's my first exposure to them. Then in 1975, they appeared on a Quincy Jones LP, "Mellow Madness", where they were featured! Might I mention percussionist Richard Heath, who attended Morningside HS, as I did, became a member of their band. In '76 came "Lookin' out for #1". George Johnson was a featured guitarist on a George Duke LP, "I love the blues, she heard my cry". Louis Johnson STAYED busy throughout the 70's, and WELL into the 80's on countless jazz albums by Grover Washington jr, Herbie Hancock and many others. The famous song "Strawberry Letter 23", penciled by George Johnson, was a wedding song for Louis Johnson! George Johnson ♉️, and Louis Johnson ♈️, we're NOBODY'S underdog by ANY means!✊🏿

Rest in peace Louis Johnson

Get the Funk Out Ma Face is mine

Where's the second part ? Thx again 4 this great work

Remember Miss Alycia Myers on the same MCA label. I love the transition LP, Wild Night, what a cover and a Cutie Pie alike.

Starleana Young relative to Young & Co, first single on Stanpico Rds and, of course Slave with Steve Washington, what a singer !!!!

Thanks, Solar is a major label in the Funk history, Leon Sylvers III,Otis Stokes, William Shelby, Dana Myers, Fenderella.... Whoahhhhh and Leon workin with Flyte Tyme on Wild Girls... It's the HISTORY !!!

Quite so interesting. Thx buddy for dat work.

I wanna say these guys were so underrated but that wouldn't be true because they gain fame and won awards. Still I felt they deserve more. Tokyo from the 1984 album was a great jazz tune but didn't get a lot of airplay.

Hard to choose a favorite from these guys. Impossible actually.

here is the ah man again

this man cant talk without saying ahh

Check out P.O. Box 2000 off 'Kickin' '

HOW SOON THEY WERE FORGOTTEN. IT IS A SHAME THAT SUCH GREAT TALENT SUCH AS THEIRS, DIDN'T GET THE FAME THEY REALLY DESERED. THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD IS VERY COMPLEXED TO SAY THE LEAST.

Great video. I loved it. These Brothers were my favorite when i first heard them back in 1977 in 3rd grade Elementary school. My brothers would play all thier Albums over the years. I wish NetFlix or Amazon Prime would make a Biopic of thier life.

Larry Graham listening! Funky

Slap Bass

Omg!! Thank you for remembering one of my favorite groups, the legendary, Brothers Johnson. My favorite hits are Get The Funk Out of My Face, Stomp, Tommorrow. Giving them their flowers. Love them.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Sophisticated funk at it's BEST! Looong time fan since the very beginning! Nuff said.

That was Louis Johnson s wife

Thanks for doing the homework for us all!! Salute!

BAD MR BASS MAN !!!❤❤❤❤

You didn't focus on the "main" member of Brick, bassist Ray Ransom, who wrote "Music Matic", co-wrote and sang LEAD, notably on "Dazz", and on most of their hits. I believe Ransom left the band years ago (to start a catering business in Atlanta????) and was replaced by another bass player. When Brick appeared on "Soul Train", it was - RAY RANSOM - who introduced the members of the band to Don Cornelius and the world. Also, you didn't mention how often they were sampled by rapper groups - particularly by "Kid N Play", whose first hit was based on a sample from "Ain't gonna Hurt Nobody". "Kid N Play" even took Ransom and Hargis' dance step - kicking their shoes against each other - in their dances. the only original member in the current version of "Brick" is Jimmy Brown, so it is several pieces of clay short of the original hit band, "Brick".
