This really captures the real essence of the band. they were funky, they had hits, but essentially they were great musicians, from George's work with Billy Preston and the brothers work with Quincy Jones, they were true to their craft By the time this CD was released, (1984) they were really in the groove. The hits may have slowed down, but they were still recognized for their skills.

Louis Johnson was the greatest in the pocket, thumper in the business. His timing and knowledge on where to place the accents between the beats was amazing.

I’ve loved the Brothers Johnson since they debuted and got to enjoy their music while pursuing my own music career in Japan. 🇯🇵 Louis & George came to Japan to perform and I was lucky enough to get to see their shows + meet my idol Louis! (Yes, he was a great guy) He taught me more about Funky Bass” in that little time span that I ever could have grasped in years of practice...and so I got to “know & feel” his approach well. I guess you could say we hit it off right away,..he got what I was trying to achieve on Bass and I really think that he wanted his style to perpetuate so he showed me and then others through the “StarLicks” video series. His sound and vibe shall live on through me...to honor him and Brothers Johnson music!! ( I’ll also be constructing a “Special Music Man Bongo Bass”...to honor the Brothers!..stay tuned fans!!..🎵🎸) I perform this tune because I love it,..reside in Tokyo for many many years...it’s my Anthem of life here in Japan. Louis was so influenced by the nation that he named his Children with Japanese names (Kodi & Kiki)...I believe they are called. I miss the Brothers Johnson but it so helps that their music doesn’t have to be missed!!...🎧📀🎶☺️✌🏾✨🎵🎸💖

Dear friends, be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. (1 Peter 5:8). We must always practice this vigilance in our spiritual lives. Peter warns believers not to glide thoughtlessly through life, but to “be alert”. The devil is actively trying to destroy us, and so we too need to be active, resisting temptation and standing firm in our faith (v. 9). That’s not something we have to do on our own though. God promises to be with us in our sufferings and, ultimately, to make us “strong, firm and steadfast” (v. 10). By His power, we learn to remain watchful and alert in resisting evil and following Him. Where do you need to be more alert? In what ways will you stay vigilant in following Jesus? As you ponder these very powerful questions, I invite you to receive our Creator THIS VERY MOMENT by first acknowledging that you are a sinner in need of our Savior. Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord of your life. Welcome Abba YHWH (Father God) through Yeshua (Jesus the Christ) into your life. Receive grace by believing in Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross, His death, burial and resurrection for the sins of all human-kind. You will then be justified in salvation and forever blessed with His abundant love by the Holy Spirit! Please take a moment to pray the following prayer with me......Dear Father God, keep me from growing lazy or too comfortable in my spiritual life. Help me to remain watchful and alert so that I can resist temptation and do Your will Your way! This I pray in the Mighty name of Your Son Yeshua, Jesus Christ, Amen! May God bless you in the Glorious name of Jesus Christ our Lord and our Savior.❤️❤️❤️
