I used to wait for the series every week primarily for the theme song ~ I love Johnny Rivers,but had one issue with him~ When the Beatles hit he did a song 'It Wouldn't Happen With Me" Ragging on
I agree with aseventh about the R+RHOF. What I want to know is when will 'America' be inducted? These guys have been eligible since 2002. Get a clue R+RHOF people!
By the way, the hit recording of this song was also a live performance, recorded at Los Angeles's legendary Whiskey-A-Go-Go.
Here, the "Hollywood Palace" musical director/studio bandleader made a nice arrangement, adding a "James Bond Theme"-type sound to this song, which works well.
He's NOT in the hall of fame???thought he would be one of the first!!!Memphis may have been chuck berry's but i first heard it from Rivers.go listen to it ..secret agent man was a kickass rock and roll song!!
The RR Hall of Fame SUCKS!!!!! There are so many artists that are really good that deserve recognition and deserve to be in there but they leave them out and put some bimbo in there that can't play or carry a tune in a 55 gallon barrel.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a mockery! Of course Johnny Rivers belongs in it. So do The Moody Blues, Carly Simon and others. They leave out deserving artists and put in people like George Clinton and Funkadelic, Mahalia Jackson, Bill Monroe. The list of those who should be in and aren't and those who are in but shouldn't be goes on and on. The RR Hall of Fame has no credibility!
@aseventh I can't believe you would name Funkadelic as an example of artists who don't deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame. There are so many other artists that don't deserve to be in there, but Funkadelic is not one of them. George Clinton helped pioneer FUNK and he basically invented hip hop
@aseventh Thumbs up. Your right. It's not about record sales or overexposure. It's who carried the torch. At the rate the R R H o F is going they will induct Britney before the Moody Blues, Carly Simon and Johnny Rivers.
@aseventh One critic, whose name escapes me, put it perfectly: "The name Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, in and of itself, is an oxymoron. If you want your work to be in a museum, learn to paint."
He left out the last verse..that suc ks lol Why isnt He nominated for the Rock and rtoll hall of fame after all these years..he was avery good songwriter?

needs another guitar so Johnny can play those hot licks that go on during the whole song instead of the lame brass section.
