In that recording and clip, the guitarist and drummer are Steve Lukather and Jeff Porcaro from Toto.

    Englishman Rod Temperton was better known as the keyboardist from the band Heatwave, but he also wrote all the hit songs for that band. When he left that band, he wrote this song as well as writing (or co-writing, depending on who you ask) "Thriller", "Off the Wall", and "Rock With You" for Michael Jackson. He wrote hits for George Benson, including "Give Me the Night" and "Love X Love", Patti Austin and James Ingram's "Baby, Come to Me", Michael McDonald's "Sweet Freedom", and Michael McDonald's duet with James Ingram "Yah Mo B There". A lot of people say that many '80s songs sound just alike, but there's a good reason for that. He's an underappreciated musical genius.

    • @NannettCepero
      @NannettCepero Год назад +7

      Rod Temperton's "Star of a Story" is one of the most beautiful songs ever, in my humble opinion, regardless of the artist that covers the song. I do enjoy George Benson's cover a bit more than the others, but I love it regardless!

    Great song, but you really need to hear "Strawberry Letter 23" which has one of the greatest guitar solos in history. "I'll be good to You" is a classic ballad. "Get da Funk out ma Face" is another classic. Yes it's as funky as the name indicates. They also recorded "Tomorrow" an instrumental used as a graduation song in several elementary schools in urban Los Angeles. Words were later added to the song, and it became a hit for Quincy Jones with a very young Tevin Campbell singing lead vocals.

    Oh Amber! You are spot on when you said you just imagined people just going out and having the best time and just getting into the music and letting loose. This song brings back such great memories and is impossible for me to listen to without smiling and moving. I don’t think the Brothers Johnson gets enough recognition in particular for how they were able to cross musical genres with ease and credibility. Not to sound like a broken record by echoing other commenters, but, you should check out “Strawberry Letter 23” which is such a gorgeous track.

      With all due respect to Quincy, Shuggie Otis didn't want him touching his song, "Strawberry Letter 23".
      The story was, one of the brothers Johnson was dating Shuggie's relative, and they found their way into his room, and stumbled upon the song. Shuggie had done everything, on his own, in his version. It's a testament to his genius, not only in playing, but also arrangement. His father was the great, Johnny Otis, who definitely showed him a lot, about music, and how to approach, every aspect of putting a song together.
      The song was written, as a response to one, in a series of love letters, Strawberry Letter 22, that Otis received, hence, this song being "Strawberry Letter 23".

    Guitarist George Johnson was given the assignment by Quincey Jones to go home and write a song called "Stomp"
    He returned the next day with this hit tune. It was considered to be funk/disco.

    All I gotta say is *Strawberry Letter 23,* man this groove is on point!!! Plus Jay and Amber you also need to check this band's other two big songs *Get Tha Funk Outta My Face and I'll Be Good To You.* So the two fronting the band is *George (Lighting Licks) Johnson -Guitar/Vocals and Louis (Thunder Thumbs) Johnson -Bass.* This is one of the great Funk Bands to go to when ya need your Funk fix! *Love ❤️ Peace ✌️ and Happiness 😃 Y'all !!*

    You Got Your Wish! The Bass Guy is the Late Louis Johnson, nicknamed "Thunder Thumbs" for His unique Bass-playing-style. Both of the Brothers Johnson were sought after Studio Musicians as well. You'd like their "Strawberry Letter # 23" & "I'll be Good to You."

    Truthfully, R&B and Funk are two horns on the same goat! Louis Johnson on bass (RIPgone too soon), George Johnson on guitar. Ain’t We Funkin’ Now, Het the Funk Out My Face, Strawberry Letter 23 (the LP was red and smelled like strawberries)

    I was born in the early 60s. My music genre is the 70s. I always tell people I’m stuck in the 70s when it comes to music. Brothers Johnson was one of my favorite bands out there. Strawberry Letter 23 is one of my favorites. I had it on vinyl. It actually smelled like strawberries when I first got it.

    The late great Louis Johnson is the bass player. Believe it or not you have heard him MANY times before without realizing it.
    He is the infamous bass player on BOTH Michael Jackson’s first two solo albums “Off The Wall” and “Thriller”. He is also the smooth ass bass player on Michael McDonalds hit song “I Keep Forgetting”.
    He was one of Quincy Jones “go to” bass players in the late 70’s & 80’s.
