Compliments Of The Internet" ✰ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brot... ✰ Louis Johnson's solo Career: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV2_RNDNBfM ✰ Louis Johnson recorded a gospel music album in 1981 with his own group Passage, which included his then-wife Valerie Johnson and former Brothers Johnson percussionist/singer Richard Heath. He played bass on Michael Jackson's Thriller. In 1985 he recorded a single, "Kinky", on Capitol Records; it appears on his Evolution album which was exclusively released in Europe that year. Louis then made 3 instructional videotapes for the Starlicks video-distribution company in which he shared his bass-playing skills. The first was released in 1985. He then settled down to enjoy family life with his wife and son, but by 1988 his then-manager Diane Taren talked him into going back into the recording studio. He started his bass academy during the 1990s and gave workshop clinics via his own Website. Louis Johnson died on May 21, 2015. ⋱ ⋮ ⋰ ⋯✰⋯ ⋰ ⋮ ⋱
