    Strawberry Letter 22, Stomp and I'll Be Good to You! Can't go wrong!

    • @mongooz24
      @mongooz24 9 днів тому +1

      I know its strange because of the lyrics (22), but it’s actually Strawberry Letter 23. Weird, right?

      Jay did a reaction to "Strawberry Letter 23" and "Stomp" already some time ago. He does need to hear "I'll Be Good To You".

    Thunder Thumbs may not have invented the "slap and pick" method for bass but he came pretty close to perfecting it! "Get the Funk Out Ma Face" is still my all time favorite from them!

    If you hadn't accomplished your goal yet today, J. You accomplished it with this song. Watching you FEEL this song & really get down into it had ME smiling (& probably MANY others too!) I am glad you found a song you like so much. I was going to suggest you add it to a "Feel Good" sort of playlist, but you topped that by saying you were going to add it to your MAIN playlist. I'm so glad for you.
    I have to be honest in that I have NOT liked all of the Brothers Johnson songs that you have had on the channel to date. THIS SONG, however I DO like. I like it a lot also - even if not QUITE 😄as much as you. I ALSO thank the person who recommended this to you - in order to bring out the sun in your soul tonight, J.
    All the best.💞

    @mcmarcuschapman 10 днів тому +7

    There’s actually a longer version of this where the drums break down solo right before it said “listen to the bass”. According to an interview album their label put out in 78 this song was a response to criticism the band got from fans who thought their 2nd album Right On Time didn’t have any hard funk songs on it; thus the title Ain’t We Funkin Now! Make sure you check out the full 6 minute version of Get The Funk Out Ma Face and their first 3 albums all the way through 🤘🏾

    So happy you came back to the brothers Jay. So much more where that came from. You should check out "Get the Funk out Ma Face", "I'll Be Good to You," and "Free and Single," all from their debut album "Look Out for #1," produced by Quincy Jones.

    The Brothers Johnson. I love them. When they had this song called Strawberry 22 it was on a giant 45 that was red. They started out as a session band they played for Quincy Jones and A&M records. They have a lot of hits a lot of songs in their arsenal. I think you would like a lot of their songs and rest in peace. Lewis "Thunder Thumbs" Johnson he's the bass player 🙏🏾

    Louis Johnson was a bass master along with Larry Graham, Marcus Miller, and Verdine White (Victor Wooten might belong here as well). You should just add the first three albums to your playlist, and maybe the fourth:
    Looking Out For #1
    Blam!

    The Brothers Johnson had a sound & funk that everyone loved, including MIchael Jackson who had them help on a number of songs for OFF THE WALL, THRILLER & DANGEROUS albums. Louise Johnson can be heard on MJ's songs - "Billie Jean", "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough". His bass lines are incredible. One of the best bassists ever.
