We’re sorry to inform SoulTrackers of the death of Frederic Homer (Keg) Johnson, Jr. The son of noted jazz trombonist Keg Johnson, Sr., the younger Johnson was a noted R&B producer who worked with many of the great artists of the 60s, 70s and 80s.
Among Johnson’s productions are “Going In Circles” by the Friends of Distinction, ““(Pop Pop Pop) Goes My Mind” for Levert, “Dancin In the Key of Life” for Steve Arrington, and album cuts for The Spinners, Shalamar, The Brothers Johnson, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Bobby Womack and more. He also wrote “I’ve Got the Next Dance” for Deniece Williams.
Thanks to Isaac Suthers of the group Klique for letting us know.
