Louis "Thunder Thumbs" Johnson appreciation thread

So I'm still sad that one of the first bassists that I called "my favorite" [there are about 10 now] transitioned at the age of 60 on Thursday, May 21. Too young to go and I'm alternately depressed about that but thrilled that I woke up this morning to thoughts of Brothers Johnson's hits and B-Sides. What are your favorites. I have many, but this morning I woke up thinking about "The Devil" which was a B-side for "I'll Be Good To You" and their remake of the Beatles "Come Together" which was funky and on the edge of rocking. They wanted to play rock originally, but got steered into pop, r&B and what they branded "sophisto-funk" [maybe Quincy Jones came up with that term?]. Anyway, what are your favorites Org?
