Important bassist Louis Johnson, one of the Brothers Johnson and session player for Quincy Jones, dead at 60. You have heard Mr. Johnson's work on half the hit records of the 70s and 80s. He was a monster.

This song showcases Mr Johnson's aggressive pop/slap technique in full. Just the first 15 seconds of it is enough to give you an idea:



You could find him everywhere:



Of course, the brilliant "Strawberry Letter 23", in which Mr Johnson's parts created a hidden rhythm that was one of the secrets to the single.



You've never heard most of his part because it was mixed so perfectly and became part of the song, but here is the isolated bass part, and believe me, it's just unbelievably genius:

Wow. I've always loved Strawberry Letter # 23...I think it's one of the prettiest funky songs I've ever heard (I had that 45 too!) It's hard for me to pick out particulars in arrangements, though I was taught how to try by my ex...so hearing the bass part isolated then listening again to the song. Just wow. It's so damn intricate. Thanks UT!

In the right channel during the verses? Don't know, it's a woodblock on the left, maybe just sticks on the right.

Shit, Christopher Lee?
I had him on my Celebrity Death List in 2012...

Not that that's the only reason to mourn his passing this year of course.
