Louis 'thunder thumbs' Johnson was born April 13, 1955, died May 22, 2015 was an American bass guitarist.
Johnson was best known for his group The Brothers Johnson and his session playing on several hit albums of the 1970s and 1980s including the "best selling album of all time" Thriller. His signature sound is from the Music Man StingRay bass which Leo Fender especially made for him to first use and promote, and from his slapping technique. Johnson is 'Funkin' now in Heaven. Rest In Peace.
