BROTHERS JOHNSON

This duo featured George Johnson (b. 17 May 1953, Los Angeles, California, USA; guitar, vocals) and Louis Johnson (b. 13 April 1955, Los Angeles, California, USA; bass). Having previously worked with Billy Preston and appeared on Quincy Jones's 1975 US Top 20 album Mellow Madness, the duo signed to A&M Records. This hard-funk duo had three notable disco and US Top 10 hits with “I'll Be Good To You” (1976), “Strawberry Letter 23” (1977) and “Stomp!” (1980). A brief hiatus, involving the duo in studio production and session work, came to an end with the recording of the not altogether successful Kickin’.
