Louis 'thunder Thumbs' Johnson Was One Of The Greatest Bass Players To Ever Pick Up The Instrument, As A Member Of The Brothers Johnson, We Shared Decades Of Magical Times Working Together In The Studio And Touring The World. From My Albums 'body Heat' And 'mellow Madness,' To Their Platinum Albums 'look Out For #1,' 'right On Time,' 'blam' And 'light Up The Night,' Which I Produced, To Michael's Solo Debut 'off The Wall,' I Considered Louis A Core Member Of My Production Team. He Was A Dear And Beloved Friend And Brother, And I Will Miss His Presence And Joy Of Life Every Day.
