Lamont Johnson (fretless bassist)

Eugene Lamont Johnson (born April 20, 1955, in Highland Park, Michigan), commonly known as E Lamont Johnson or Lamont Johnson, is an American musician. He was the lead singer of the composition "This Must Be Heaven" and electric fretless bassist of the R&B band Brainstorm. As a result of his electric fretless bass work throughout the mid-1970s, he gained recognition for being the first internationally recognized electric fretless bassist in R&B music.

After leaving Brainstorm in 1978, he recorded two solo albums for CBS Records. He recorded an album with American disco group Niteflyte for Ariola Records. He is a notable bass instructor in the Detroit area, and many have sought his electric bass instruction since the mid-1970s.
