G'day folks. It seems the music industry has had a fascination with someone named Johnny for well over 50 years, we all know the "Rock N Roll" era was ushered in by Chuck Berry's "Johnny B' Goode" and Johnny has been the subject of many a fine tune since. Of course Chuck wasn't the first to sing about Johnny, plenty of old blues and folk singers had already started that tradition. I thought I would do a search of my hard drive and see what "Johnny" songs I could turn up and so here is a collection, for your listening pleasure, of songs about our old friend Johnny. Another real mixed bag here folks, from Reggae, punk, funk, to Jazz and Folk. Enjoy. Roddus.
