Walter “Junie” Morrison (keyboards, multi-instrumentalist, vocals, songwriter, arranger, producer; born 1954) Junie Morrison joined P-Funk in early 1978 as musical director after having success in the early Ohio Players and as a solo artist. Though primarily a keyboardist, Junie composed or co-wrote several of the band’s hits at the height of their popularity (e.g. One Nation Under a Groove, Knee Deep, Let’s Play House, Theme from the Black Hole) and served as a lead vocalist, producer, arranger, and played several instruments on many of the band’s songs. Morrison stopped touring with the band after 1981, but contributed on many subsequent albums. During his time with P-funk, much of his work was credited under the name J.S. Theracon.
