It's just a damned shame that Johnny never got the recognition he deserved. He was one of the greatest singers who ever lived. That may sound like hype to some people , but I truly feel that way. He should be a legend everywhere ,not just in New Orleans.
I used to go see, and listen to, "The Brown Canary" as often as I could. To see this guy sing in a small club was an experience I'll never forget, and miss. Thanks, Johnny. We all, here in "Da' Big Easy" miss ya'.
@pobouyone "Tan" but no matter, I saw him once in a small nightclub setting and it was magic. His voice was better in person and I think that was because it was from his vocal chords to your ears with nothing in between. Everyone thinks Cole was one of the best, many feel it was Tony Williams (The Platters) but it seems Adams has made no one's list, that is as a consensus. Now dat's criminal.
@stanleyhubbardsr You're very welcome! I was in Alaska a while back and was talking some music and I mention "Gene Pitney". The 2 people I was talking to never heard of him. I got desperate and started rattling off song titles and they still had no clue. They were in their 40s! It ruined my night....and it was one long night.
He's my all time favourite vocalist.
Nobody came close to this type of Blues feel.
