Life goes by too fast ! It seems only a few short days ago, that this song was playing on the radio. I wish we had a restart button that we could push, and just go back. Johnny should be in the hall of fame ! He is, and always will be one of the best singer, performers of all time . Jim T Bless you Johnny, and Lidiafern for posting this.
AI SIM É CANTOR..............Ñ É ESSA PORCARIA DE SERTANEJO UNIVERSSITARIO DE HOJE..........ADORO SERTANEJO MAS HOJE ESTA DANDO NOJO CREDO DESSES CANTORSINHOS DE MERDA ........................
@miller8156 Pôxa, Miller, Quando falam de Johnny Rivers, falam de música, de cantor de verdade.... E voce lembra de sertanejos universitarios???? Esses não sao cantores e nem fazem música!
Johnny Rivers has a group of faithful followers in Brazil, especially Sao Paulo and Porto Alegre, no mega act, very cozy and intimate, and he still enjoys coming here every other year and people take such good care of him and you can say he really loves it here! a fan from the 60s.
@kloudzjia Happy to hear you guys take good care of him while he is in Brazil. We love him here in California too ...... I have been a fan since I was 12 years old in 7th grade..... He is the King in Northern California....... Love him Forever...... :)
@kloudzjia There is a Fan Page on Facebook for Johnny Rivers....it is an open Fan Site if you want to join his other fans there. It is named JohnnyRiversFans and they play mostly his music, but other artisits also. You can post & share your favorite songs there.
@roofermarc1 He was born in NYC from Brooklyn....then moved to Baton Rouge, LA when he was very young.... so grew up in Baton Rouge,LA...... got his first recording contract when he was only 15 years old........ the rest is Rock & Rock History...... He is a "Legend" in his own lifetime..... :)
Johnny Rivers was the one of the first to record Jimmy Webb songs, before Glen Campbell, and he discovered the 5th Dimension who were back up singers for the label. Rewind is his most excellent album. but Realization is the one from the era of concept albums, one song flowing seamlessly into the next.
The video is grainy, but that's what makes it so real. It's obvious that Johnny Rivers was really singing, and the instruments were really being played. I liked it a lot. Thanks for sharing it.
Yes he DOES perform regulalry, I saw him in September 2010 in Michiigan and again in October 2010 in Greenville Mississippi and he is always at the top of his game and he deserves to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I will see him again in 2011 as soon as I find out his concert tour dates. You can find them on his website JohnnyRivers
Every once in awhile I ask myself an impossible question: What is my favorite all-time song? And the answer is usually this one, Summer Rain, by Johnny Rivers. And I really don't know why. It just is.
I saw Johnny Rivers perform at an outdoor concert downtown Denver in 1989. It was at night and there was a light rain falling . I will never forget that magical experience!
@isorivolta I'm actually trying to start a REAL hall of fame, not like the present hall of LAME. We could go on and on about it, but it is obviously a farce and a BS game. I'm not interested in changing the hall. Needed> completely new institution with a group of facilities in sensible locations that exchange their artifacts like a group of museums & it should have a purpose. It should be generating money & buying the rights back to songs that were stolen from artists and pay royalties to 'em!
@LesCrapio You must have NEVER seen JRivers up close & personal. Face to face he looks like he is about 45 years old & he moves around the stage like a 20 year old Rocker. He can still do the "Duck Walk" when he wants to. I just saw him here a couple weeks ago live. He still have the "chops" & all the old moves, plus a clear crisp voice too. He is a Legend & well deserved too.Rock on JRivers.
one of the best composed and arranged soft rock songs ever. johnny is from my home state of louisiana and hails from baton rouge. later he moved to california permanently and began a record producer. he doesn't perform regularly anymore.
@dale1966gto I think you are mistaken. Johnny River is still performing. I just saw him live in December 2009. He played this song and commented on how good it still sounded. By the way, Johnny Rivers didn't write this song. It was written by James Hendricks.
@dale1966gto Realization was a phenomenal album in itself. There are few albums out there that you can't just go from one track and just jump to another track. You have to listen to it from beginning to end. The Beatles Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Fleetwood Mac Rumors. My top three for life.

Saw him three years ago in Phoenix at the Dodge Theatre. Looked like he was 30 and sang like he was 20. Dude is better with age.
