Louis "Thunder Thumbs" Johnson

Louis passed away yesterday, a month after his 60th birthday. RIP. This really makes me sad-I love "Get on the floor" with all my heart.
I will post an article when I can get to a computer.

Very sad news. He was still very young.

A great bass player. He played bass on most songs on OTW (all songs except RWY) and Thriller (all songs except Human Nature, Beat It, Thriller and Baby Be Mine), and then finally Who Is It on Dangerous, . That's some iconic bass lines right there.

Feels only fitting to post this awesome clip one more time:

Thanks Barbee and thank you too Cav for posting.

Louis Johnson of the Brothers Johnson will be sorely missed.
His bass genius was evident in so many jams.

Rest in peace Louis 'Thunder Thumbs' Johnson.
