100 Days of Bass: 47 and Louis Johnson

I wasn’t going to get into the slap bass until after 50 on 100 Days of Bass, but I just heard that slap bass original, Louis Johnson, passed away. So here’s a line with some slap, nowhere near as good as Johnson but it’s here all the same.

In addition to the work he did with his brother in the appropriately named Brothers Johnson (Stomp, for example), he played on a bunch of things from the 80s that you’ve heard and danced to.
