Louis Johnson, founding member of funk band the Brothers Johnson and an in-demand bassist who appeared on Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," died on Thursday, May 21st. He was 60. Johnson's nephew Troy confirmed his death to Rolling Stone, though a cause of death has yet to be revealed.

"I've never been given parts to play in my whole life. I'm the most rare bass player in the whole world," Johnson told Rolling Stone contributing writer Steve Knopper in 2013 for the upcoming book MJ: The Genius of Michael Jackson. "No one ever gave me music paper to read; no one ever gave me anything to read. They tell me, 'Here's a track, play what you want.'"

The Los Angeles-based Brothers Johnson, a group featuring Louis and his brother George, got their start backing up Quincy Jones before releasing their acclaimed, Jones-produced debut LP Look Out for #1 in 1976. Over the next five years, the Brothers Johnson racked up three Number One hits on the R&B charts: 1976's "I'll Be Good to You," their 1977 cover of Shuggie Otis' "Strawberry Letter 23," and 1980's smash "Stomp!" (Their rendition of "Strawberry Letter 23" was later featured prominently in Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown.) The Brothers Johnson's 1980 album Light Up the Night, featuring "This Had to Be" co-written by Michael Jackson and featuring the King of Pop on background vocals, ascended to the top of the R&B album charts.

Strikers- Body Music (Chuggin Edits)

What a Disco Funk Electro corker from 1981!
Can't get enough of this song, such good vibes.
The B-Side is pretty happening too; its an instrumental by the legendary Tee Scott.
Mighty Mouse has done a nice edit of this A-Side too. If I can get some more minutes I'll upload it...or you could get off your arse and look on his SoundCloud page yourself.
Lazy!

Patrice Rushen - Haven't You Heard (Joey Negro Extended Disco Mix)

‘Phreek' is all about the early 80’s when the heavyweights were around, Larry Levan, Paradise Garage, The Loft! A time when dancing was really dancing! You weren’t worried about the person next to you, it didn’t matter what they had on and it didn’t matter what they smelt like (however make sure you do wear some deodorant). ‘Phreek’ is all about the dancing, partying, people and feeling free! You’ll get on the dance floor and let your problems disappear!
