I discovered this song fro the movie LaBamba In 1987 or whenever it came out. It got radio play for a little while on the top 40 stations Most 12 olds didn’t care for it, or wouldn’t admit it. It wasn’t “cool” but it must’ve been because they played it. It’s very unique. It’s like a wave of emotions. It can go from love to sorrow depending how you’re feeling when you hear it, as well as who’s playing it. Some people just seem to play it, and others really Put their soul into it. It seems like it conveys your mood at the time. This song is timeless.
@@peggyhobbs3119 Santo Farina was born in 1937, while Johnny was born in 1941. They had a middle child sister named Annie, whom they named an instrumental song after. Annie is often credited with her two brothers on any of their compositions, including "Sleep Walk". Santo & Johnny were both born of Fiji/Italian descent in New York. Their father was Fiji Island born, while their mother was an Italian-American native. As both brothers once stated on the back of their album covers, they sure did loved their mother's homemade lasagna. It was their dad who taught the boys how to play steel guitar.

I listen this song when I was a child, since first time, this song make me feel a little peace and mistery inside of me, thats how I can define this song, mistery and peaceful... When I saw some videos when they played this song, I saw to guys playing a bass and a steel but what about the drums?? 😅 Looks like there was a couple of drums in the back
je me demande s'il devait boire pour monter sur scene et nous inonder de son talent car il donne l'impression d'être un très grand musicien ,mais son comportement laisse matière a reflexion,mais malgré cela,il reste un des maître de cette guitare,bravo,johnny
in 1962 i ask a neighbor (as he played guitar in a band) what is a steel guitar ? He said " a guitar with a wire the neck of the guitar" ... lol ... Of course he didn't knew what a steel g. was.
I can sort of mimic this with my whammy pedal and guitar, but you definitely need a pedal steel to really get this sound and feel. Very cool that it's the original johnny.
One of my favorite songs by santo and Johnny 1959❤
This is the song I first danced to, 1964. Etched in my soul
Etched is a great description
Ur old af

One of my Favorite songs. Don't hear it often enough.
Great music isn’t Mary Ann
Santo is retired as of now since the early 2000's, & is now in his mid-80's. Johnny still makes occasional performances as you can see here.
Hope he is not retired. Johnny is is great. I will always love home. You keep me young

I'd love to hear a couple people play this........Nuno Bettencourt and Johnny Depp.
This is amazing. 💌grace
Film the bam ba death ritchi song
WOWEEE!!!

It's a non-pedal steel guitar.
RITCHIEEEEEE!!!!!
He's playing a Fender Stringmaster
GENIAL !!!!!!
Remind me of la bamba
THIS DUDE SCREWS IT UP. HIS BROTHER WAS THE ONE WITH ALL THE STYLE
Bad Ass !
😊😊🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Are they still alive?
What is this insturment called?
He plays a double neck Fender Stringmaster (Console) Steel Guitar. It also was available with 3 or 4 8-string necks.
richieeeeee !!!!!!!!!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹
What instrument is he playing? 💖
Lap steel guitar
who is he ?
Johnny Farina who with his brother Santo had a number one single in September of 1959 called “Sleepwalk”. He’s playing it here.
Sorry,but its all over the place.
His singing voice didn't hold up. So he now has to do this as an instrumental.
Interesting. He just started performing this with no vocals since the 50's lol...
