LAMONT JOHNSON is an electric bassist, singer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer and arranger who was born and raised in the "MOTOR CITY", Detroit, Michigan.
As a local Detroit musician during the 1970's, Lamont played in various powerhouse bands throughout the metropolitan area. Among such bands included the nine(9) piece pop band "Brainstorm".
As a featured member of Brainstorm, Lamont performed as an electric bassist and vocalist. During the mid 1970's, Brainstorm was signed to an international recording deal with RCA on the Tabu Record label.
On Brainstorm's debut album entitled "Stormin",Lamont performed various bass solos, displayed his smooth vocal style and penned 3 of the 8 compositions on the album including the title cut. Two compositions featured on the album clipped the Billboard charts as #48 and #14 respectively. The irony of this project is that the most popular song on it was never released as a single, "This Must Be Heaven", is a highly sought-after composition as is this album.
Lamont has recorded with numerous local talent throughout the Detroit area and internationally known artists such as David Sanborn, Brecker Brothers, the late great Phyllis Hyman, Anita Baker with Chapter 8, Hamilton Bohannon, Tom Scott, David T. Walker, Harvey Mason, Earth, Wind & Fire's horn section, Howard Johnson with Niteflyte and Lee Ritenour to name a few.

The Best you can get !!!!!!
author: Howard JohnsonBeing in Niteflyte with Lamont in 1979 was one of the greatest highlights in my musical career. Having the chance to sing a Lamont penned song 'Easy Come" is still one of my favorite's to this day. I'm looking forward to working with a legend soon. This CD is the bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Peace and hairgrease HoJo
A breath of fresh air!
author: Barry Towler (The Lowdown, Soul Express)Lamont Johnson, as a name, suggests that this CD is going to be for connoiseurs of quality R&B. The fact that he is a great artist can be gleaned from one listen to this CD. I needed no further prompting when I heard Dreamin'. This song opens with an irresistable to-die-for bass line. I have not heard such an infectious bassline since the days of Sugarfoot or Frederick in the mid 1980s. His reworking of This Must Be Heaven is another top-notch benchmark song on this CD and fans of the gentleman old and new will revel in this. CDs like this are a breath of fresh air and renew my interest in R&B today. Essential!
