    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.

    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’!

    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."

    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!

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

    @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..
