To Me It's No Accident That All

Louis 'thunder Thumbs' Johnson Was One Of The Greatest Bass Players To Ever Pick Up The Instrument, As A Member Of The Brothers Johnson, We Shared Decades Of Magical Times Working Together In The Studio And Touring The World. From My Albums 'body Heat' And 'mellow Madness,' To Their Platinum Albums 'look Out For #1,' 'right On Time,' 'blam' And 'light Up The Night,' Which I Produced, To Michael's Solo Debut 'off The Wall,' I Considered Louis A Core Member Of My Production Team. He Was A Dear And Beloved Friend And Brother, And I Will Miss His Presence And Joy Of Life Every Day.

I Used To Practice Piano For Hours, And Now, With A Synthesizer, You Can Input The Music And The Machine Perfects The Song. That's Why We Have So Many People In The Music Business Who Should Be Plumbers. They Don't Really Understand Music Because They Haven't Been Trained.

I Was Reading Omar Khayyam, Kahlil Gibran, Rumi, L. Ron Hubbard, All Sorts Of Philosophy. Bebop Cats Are Like That. Curious. I Wanted To Know About Everything.

I Never Felt Like I Had A Mother.

If You Started In New York You Were Dealing With The Biggest Guys In The World. You're Dealing With Charlie Parker And All The Big Bands And Everything. We Got More Experience Working In Seattle.
