Los Angeles siblings George and Louis Johnson rose to fame in the late '70s with smooth-strutting funk valentines, thrilling overtures to disco, and a color-flooded version of Shuggie Otis' “Strawberry Letter 23.” The Brothers Johnson bent their percolating rhythms, sizzling guitar licks, and creamy synth squiggles just as easily to the slyly worded defiance of “Get the Funk Out Ma Face” as they did to the devotional romance of “I'll Be Good to You.” Their assuredly lush sound anticipated OutKast and Toro y Moi alike, while party tunes like “You Keep Me Coming Back” rivaled yacht rock for bubbly sensitivity.
