    ༺🌷༻ Louis E. Johnson aka "Thunder Thumbs" ༺🌷༻

    Louis Johnson's solo history:
    Louis Johnson recorded a gospel music album in 1981 with his own group Passage, which included his then-wife Valerie Johnson and former Brothers Johnson percussionist/singer Richard Heath. He played bass on Michael Jackson's Thriller and also preformed and recorded for a host of other artist. In 1985 he recorded a single, "Kinky", on Capitol Records; it appears on his Evolution album which was exclusively released in Europe that year. Louis then made 3 instructional videotapes for the Starlicks video-distribution company in which he shared his bass-playing skills. The first was released in 1985. He then settled down to enjoy family life with his wife and son, but by 1988 his then-manager Diane Taren talked him into going back into the recording studio. He started his bass academy during the 1990s and gave workshop clinics via his own Website.

    I had this Star licks video on VHS tape and studied and practiced it back when it came out in the 1980's. God bless the legacy of one of the baddest bass players who ever lived, Louis "Thunder Thumbs" Johnson.

    There's hope as a beginner bass player; I can already do what he does with his left knee, eyes closed.

    Every time someone talks about great bass players and mentions Flea and Les Claypool I always mention Louis Johnson.

    Its a sad fact that when this man passed away there was barely any in-depth news on one of the founding bass players/along with Larry Graham/that took the bass guitar to another level...

    His bass style was what hooked me into Brothers Johnson back in the day.

    Louis was close friend of mine and was my neighbor for many years .. he would show me how the bass should be played .. will be missed

    it seems that this came so naturally to him he's having difficulty actually explaining just how he did it. Like asking Messi how he plays soccer or Van Gogh to show you how he painted. it's just a natural gift, nurtured by practice.
