Walter "Junie" Morrison or simply Junie Morrison is a musician and producer born in Dayton, Ohio. Morrison was a producer, writer, keyboardist and vocalist for the funk band the Ohio Players in the early 70's, where he wrote and produced their first major hit, "Funky Worm" (1971). He left the band in 1974 to release three solo albums on Westbound Records in the mid 1970s (When We Do, Freeze, and Suzie Supergroupie). Around 1977, he joined George Clinton's P-Funk (Parliament-Funkadelic) where he became musical director. He brought a unique sound to P-Funk as a producer, songwriter, vocalist, keyboardist, guitarist, bassist and drummer, and played a very dominant role during the time of the Parliament-Funkadelic's greatest popularity from 1978 through 1980, in particular on the platinum-selling album, One Nation Under a Groove and the ever funky "(Not Just) Knee Deep." Morrison also produced some of P-Funk's well known hits as alter ego J.S. Theracon. He went on to record solo albums including 1980's Bread Alone, 1981's Junie 5, and 1984's Evacuate Your Seats. In 1997 Junie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Parliament-Funkadelic. Walter Morrison has continued to periodically contribute to P-Funk albums, most recently in 1996. Junie produced other artists throughout the nineties and released a new solo album, When the City, in 2005.
