Greatful for the few clips I can find of him. This is my grandad, didnt get to spend any time with him aside from a newborn, looking back at these helps me feel some type of connection to him.
Hello, your grandfather was a great man and more people need to know more of who he truly was and the importance of him and his music. I will send you clips I have.
Hey love, I just wanted to jump on and say, ya know, I saw your Grandadad about 25 years ago, in Sydney Australia. I didn't realise how significant he was, but I tell you, had a fun night from that point of view. What that means to you, well, nothing really. You only saw him as a baby, and my true reality of that night was that I had to carry my drunken mother out of a crowded pub and etc etc etc. But before that, your Grandad blew my mind!! Families are far fetched sometimes, hey?!!
Vastly underrated at the time, but now justly recognised as an all-time great. Without Johnnie, Chuck Berry would never have got started. In the early days the two of them were musically joined at the hip and between them they produced some of the greatest recordings in the history of popular music.
you prolly dont care but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost my login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
Johnnie was a great pianist, but Lafayette Leake deserves some credit too. He played piano on Chuck's 2nd and 3rd albums and on many of his hit singles including 'Johnny B Goode' & 'Rock N Roll Music'.
That’s when I first heard of him... when he was in Australia on tv just awesome! I’m practicing to play the blues like him on piano... just keep practicing!
God blessed us with this Talent! The Real Johnny B Goode played Piano! BTW I hope I'm never anywhere the 19 DA that thumb down this one, you evil foolish people.
Check out his collaboration with the late great Phoebe Snow doing a tribute to Muddy Waters. Two of the most brilliant artists jamming together and making music history. Johnnie’s fingers and Phoebe’s chops were incomparable.
There are a million Boogie Woogie players that have a better left hand than Johnnie Johnson, but Johnnie has a refreshing right hand that isn't so reliant on pentatonic all the time and is original.
I'm delighted his career was resurrected after Keith Richards found him driving buses and brought him back into the fold for Chuck's 60th party. Johnnie was such a talented , calm and humble guy. He could play a piano just like ringin a bell. I'd have loved to see him and Chuck in their heyday.
Without Johnny Johnson, Chuck Berry may not have made it. Maybe. Johnny's the unsung hero of Chuck's second gen Rock 'n Roll. Johnny boosted Chuck up into the throne, the King of Rock 'n Roll. Building on first gen Rock... Teddy Bunn, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Goree Carter, Tiny Webb, Gatemouth Brown, Bill Jennings, T-Bone Walker and many more... Chuck strategically targeted his Rock attack on Jim Crow and led the integration of audiences when lynching was incalculably commonplace. And Johnny was the patient, solid, always reliable-when-sober backup man. Together they created rowdy, rebellious masterpieces. And Chuck was the genius vernacular poet and composer with the instigating stage presence; he made Little Richard jealous and maddened Jerry Lee Lewis' racism. Johnny and Chuck each had their demons, Chuck passive-aggressively changing key to confuse, show up, and embarrass his band, but Johnny hung in there and the higher consciousness and joy they gave the world are timeless. And still broadcasting in outer space, I believe literally. If not, figuratively. But surely. -Doug Pratt, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Apparently your Grandfather taught Bob Wier of the Grateful Dead how to play rock and roll when he played with the band Rat Dog in the 90s. Very cool.
Johnnie was so good that even he lost sight of how good he was. This boogie is a masterclass for all twelve bar R&B and Blues students.
In VERY loving memory of Mr. Johnnie Clyde Johnson (1924 - 2005 R.I.P. Gone but NOT forgotten).
Jamais oublié. Johnnie i miss you ❤
The greatest rock pianist EVER........PERIOD! The one, the only, the GREATEST..........Johnnie Johnson!!!
If our sun went supernova Johnny Johnson's left hand would still be going.

Everyone knows Chuck Berry's greatest influence was Marty McFly.

Who knows where Chuck Berry would’ve been without Johnnie’sband in the beginning years of Chuck’s start?
Listen to Chuck Barry's "Blue Feeling"...some great piano by Johnson.
Johnnie was a great pianist, but Lafayette Leake deserves some credit too. He played piano on Chuck's 2nd and 3rd albums and on many of his hit singles including 'Johnny B Goode' & 'Rock N Roll Music'.
@@AndyShearer Lafayette had a different style too. Both were great. Behind every successful star is a great band.
This just plain puts a smile on my face..love Johnnie
That was in Australia !! And I was there yeahh just great. I always brought the best cigars with me for Johnny !! A kind man Mr. Johnson.
That’s when I first heard of him... when he was in Australia on tv just awesome!
I’m practicing to play the blues like him on piano... just keep practicing!

the man
There are a million Boogie Woogie players that have a better left hand than Johnnie Johnson, but Johnnie has a refreshing right hand that isn't so reliant on pentatonic all the time and is original.
Those hot summer nights in St Louis in the 80's listening to Johnnie Johnson at Blueberry Hill 2 or 3 nights a week.
I'm delighted his career was resurrected after Keith Richards found him driving buses and brought him back into the fold for Chuck's 60th party. Johnnie was such a talented , calm and humble guy. He could play a piano just like ringin a bell. I'd have loved to see him and Chuck in their heyday.
Veinard !! 🎉tu dois en rêver toutes les nuit.
C’est une belle histoire
Love it!!!!
In a interview. One guitar legend said: Johnnie Johnson doesn't play like Chuck Berry . Chuck Berry plays like Johnnie Johnson. In piano keys.
Chuck got his first break in music when he filled in for a musician in Johnnie's band. 1952 East St Louis
was Keith Richards.!
Yeah, I love some good old Boogie Woogie.
great video
JJ, o verdadeiro pai do rock n roll.
Watch Hail Hail Rock and Roll - it’s all there….
Now i understand why Dana Oxford is anotherwordly boogie woogie pianist , he is her teacher and former 🔥

Sometimes Johnnie would come up to Peoria to get away from the hustle and bustle of St. Louis and hang out with us

Who's the cat on lead guitar? He's screaming good!
Doña Oxford…
The drummer looks like Simon Cowell
I was thinking the same thing. Surprised no one else said anything... maybe it really is Simon. Simon says, “play them blues brother”
Shame the video is not in-sync with the sound.
0:42 Walter White on the guitar
Walter White on guitar?
audio/video synchronization: am I a joke to you?
