Brothers Johnson – Stomp
Biography
Their popular album Light Up the Night was released in March 1980 and got as high as number 5 on the Billboard 200. It was number 46 on the “Top 100 LP’s of 1980” list in Rolling Stone Magazine. The subsequent album, Winners, was self-produced by the brothers and released in July 1981, but was less successful, going only as high as number 48 on the Billboard 200.
Among their most popular songs are “I’ll Be Good to You” (Hot 100 #3 in 1976), “Strawberry Letter 23” (Hot 100 # 5 in 1977), “Ain’t We Funkin’ Now” (1978), and “Stomp!” (Hot 100 #7 and Hot Dance Music/Club Play #1 in 1980). Their styles include funk, disco, and R&B ballads. The duo split up in 1982.
Guitarist/vocalist George Johnson and bassist/vocalist Louis Johnson formed the band Johnson Three Plus One with older brother Tommy and their cousin Alex Weir while attending school in Los Angeles. When they became professionals, the band backed such touring R&B acts as Bobby Womack and the Supremes. George and Louis Johnson later joined Billy Preston’s band, and wrote “Music in My Life” and “The Kids and Me” for him before leaving his group in 1973.

People need to suggest corrections to Stomp! and Strawberry Letter 23 to cut down on those duplicates.

The Brothers Johnson* [2] Every album has the words 'The Brothers Johnson' on it, not 'Brothers Johnson'. I would really appreciate the 'The' being added to their name. On a side note, BAD ASS group.

How did we end up with Brothers Johnson in block capitals? It's making my Top Artists page look ridiculous. (No, you're not allowed to do the obvious joke)

↑ Everybody take it to the top, we're gonna STOMP!

yeah Stomp! is with the exclamation point and Strawberry Letter 23 is without the #

I like how the top two songs are the same song with one minor difference in the name. You'd think auto-correct would prevent this. then again with "Stomp!" I'm fairly certain the exclamation point belongs in the name.

Forget the runaway 'the' in the band name, where are the unsung Winners and Blast! albums in the album listing? Oh, and somebody please reissue Blam!! on CD.
