"Thunder Thumbs" earned his name for a reason—watch Louis Johnson go.
@SVG__Collection @SVG__Collection I First Noticed That On This Song, From A Show Back In This Time Frame. Killer Bassist. The Brothers Johnson - "Strawberry Letter 23" | Remastered Burt Sugarmans Midnight Special. youtu.be/9CB_sPRP2jE
@SVG__Collection As TOP used to say Make it funky like a bow legged monkey!
@SVG__Collection Why am I thinking about Seinfeld right now?
@SVG__Collection One of the greatest albums of all time. My sister and I practically wore this album out during our childhood. Every song is great.
@SVG__Collection Yessss, just paid tribute to him for his birthday on my show a few months ago. Legendary.
@SVG__Collection Aka “The Master of Funk”. From the introduction to his “Star Licks” instructional video circa 1984. As incredible now as it was 40 years ago.
@SVG__Collection This was from an instructional video. The music store I used to work at in the 1980s had these video to rent featuring legendary musicians giving tutorials.
@SVG__Collection Funny, none of my basses have those sounds in them...
@SVG__Collection All praise due to the GOAT Louis Johnson.👑🙏🏾 youtu.be/tPBDMihPRJA?si…
@SVG__Collection Saw them twice live - I believe they are both passed now - Could not get enough of "Good to You"
@SVG__Collection His brother George was known as “Lightning Licks.”
@SVG__Collection The master of the bass. He killed that. 😍🥰🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸😎
@SVG__Collection The breakdown in Stomp is incredible. RIP! His studio resume is unreal!!!
@SVG__Collection Didn’t have two minutes of bass jams on my enjoyment card for this evening. Thank you for the groovy addition!
@SVG__Collection Why you think Quincy snapped him up quick time to be his in house bassist ??!
@SVG__Collection No no, sorry, but no. This ⤵️ youtu.be/L64D7k31erM?si…

@SVG__Collection Whenever I see a stingray the first person that comes to mind is Louis Johnson.
@SVG__Collection Wild! I bet he has no fingerprints left 😅
@SVG__Collection Legend. No debate.
@SVG__Collection But can he do that with an acoustic upright bass
@SVG__Collection Amazing how much he used his left thumb two fret the E string
@SVG__Collection At a party during the Thriller album era, George and Louis were there. The host handed me a Gretsch guitar and said, "Play." Louis rocked the bass—he's fantastic!
@SVG__Collection And his brother “Lightning Licks”.
@SVG__Collection Sounds like the music from Seinfeld. 🤗
@SVG__Collection Still miss him being in the world.
@SVG__Collection i've been striking keys with my thumb too hard i was trying to fix it but now i'm like 🚬
@SVG__Collection Came across this post with the volume off and still was blown away by it.
