Back on the Mothership Connection

 

Walter 'Junie' Morrison was lead singer, keyboardist, producer, & writer for the Ohio Players during the early 70s. He contributed to the hit albums Pain, Pleasure, & Ecstasy.  He was responsible for the chart-topping hit "Funky Worm".  He left Ohio Players in 1974 to pursue a solo career.

In 1977, Morrison linked up with George Clinton / Parliament-Funkadelic as the band's musical director.  He was only with them until 1980, but in that short time became the force behind smash records like One Nation Under a Groove, Motor Booty Affair, & Gloryhallastoopid.  He co-wrote one of the band's biggest hits, "(Not Just) Knee Deep".

Junie died on January 21, 2017.
