I stumbled upon this on YouTube. I love hearing the islolated tracks. Great playing.

Wilton Felder on 'I Want You Back'. Real old school sound.

That's cool...slightly simpler than what I though he played.

A favourite old song of mine, and a good find!

Not my preferred listening or bass style, but f***, that geezer seriously funks that sh*t up! Great playing and great musicality!

Still one of my fave albums. Harvey Mason on kit duties.
The playing on that isolated track is nice and clean, great player.

I was fortunate to see The Brothers Johnson live at Manchester Apollo in the late 70's.
The record store I worked at got some tickets - this was just around the time the 'Right on Time' album came out with this song on it.
I did n't know much about the band, but was persuaded by the store manager to go - so glad I did.
Was blown away with Louis' playing - was using a natural Stingay IIRC, and sounded awesome. The rest of the band were amazing too.
(Apparently Quincy Jones was on the mixing desk too, although I did n't see him!)
