The follow-up solo album was called "Doin' It My Way", and this time the production duties were handed to The System.
His final solo album "The Vision" was released in 1985 and produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.
In 1986 he recorded a duet called "Perfect Timing" with Donna Allen.
Later he hooked up with Regis Branson and they released one album together in 1989 as Johnson & Branson

Howard Johnson also contributed on the 2003 Soul Japan compilation album "Family Snapshots" with two brand new tracks, "It's Time For Love" and "Take The Pain Away".

"So Fine" is a song by Howard Johnson, originally released in 1982. The song became a major hit for Johnson and peaked at number five on the US Billboard R&B chart. The lyrics are about a man who is admiring a woman and wanting to spend time with her. He finds her so attractive that it blows his mind. The man asks the woman to dance with him and suggests that they spend some time together. The song is filled with repetitions of "so fine" to express the man's deep attraction to the woman.
The lyrics of the song are quite straightforward and suggest the common theme of expressing deep desire for another person through music. It is quite similar to other songs of the early eighties that conveyed the same message. While the lyrics may not provide any new insights or deeper meaning, the upbeat tune and catchy chorus made the song an instant hit. The song has been covered by several artists since its release and continues to be a popular dance hit.
