Janice Marie Johnson is the bass player. She is 70 now and has aged like a fine wine. Check her 2003 Musicians Institute concert, where she was 49. Lots of stuff on her on KZitem. A two part interview she did on Funk N' Stuff is really a great back story.

She wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer, I said " you can't dummy, you're four feet tall and clumsy !" She shot up to 5'9", was choreographer for an NFL cheerleading squad, made some music videos with stars of the times, was a backup dancer for two major female singers, guest dancer on shows like Soul Train..... I swear , ANYthing to prove me wrong !!

Most disco-era entertainers were just singers. Of course, there are always exceptions, and it seems the best of the best (ABBA, Bee Gees, K.C. and the Sunshine Band) were also songwriters and musicians. A lot of promo videos from the 70's and earlier were live images synched with audio of the official studio version. This is one of my favorite performances and easily a top five bassline for me.

Later in the room Janice Marie Johnson ( bass) wrote it down. Lol you know the rest !

Actually it was Janice Marie Johnson who said that to the crowd. She recorded that show a and when she listened back to it she started working out some stuff. She called the keyboard player Perry Kibble to her room, and they wrote the song. Janice and Perry. Won a Grammy for their songwriting on Boogie. Sorry just had to set the record straight per Janice Marie Johnson.

Just getting started but this is the music of when I was in high school. I was more of a Lynyrd Skynyrd and hard rock guy and stuff but this whole part of the scene was wonderful to me. And this is just the tip of the iceberg about how cool that was. You really have to check out bands like Cameo especially when they were like a 10-piece band before they condensed down to three piece band in the Ohio Players add LTD living in the material world and just all these things going on. That was so fun underground. I'm so lucky I got exposed to that at that age

Beat me to it.. dropped down to comment the same damn thing! 😂 I immediately think of the Isleys every time I hear this tune.. and that always reminds me of Hendrix cause he was playing with them, and even lived with the family right before he was discovered and invited to the UK. I love that fuzzed out guitar tone.. if I had to guess it was a early Vox amp with fuzz box, but then also sounds like there’s extra compression of the tone, with a wah, or flanger or phase shifter giving it that oscillating wave sound.. but I dunno, it’s just a great sound for solo leads. The earliest similar guitar sound I can think of would be Davie Allen and The Arrows “Cycle-delic” from one of the biker movie soundtracks they did in the 60’s.

By the way... If you're in a psuedo-disco mood, try: I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE LIKE YOU by The Alan Parsons Project. They were a bunch of British white boys who somehow managed to get funky af. At least on THAT record. Alan Parsons himself started out as a sound engineer. He literally mixed The Beatles and Pink Floyd before getting his own band together. He also accidentally wrote and recorded the Michael Jordan/Chicago Bulls intro song: SIRIUS/EYE IN THE SKY. Check him out.
