New Orleans native Johnny Adams is not what you would call famous, but for deep soul fans he is quite a legend and had a long career full of memorable records.

IFyou never had the BLUES you won't understand thisGREAT MAN'S MUSIC.Many great singers came out of new orleans but MR JOHNNY ADAMS IS AT THE TOP.

Get Johnny's album THE SONGS OF PERCY MAYFIELD. Johnny was the kind of guy who could sing anything!
-
His greatest song was "closer to you". I would pay $100.00 for a copy.

Never heard of him til I heard his record on the cable music station. Makes me want to sit in a smoke filled bar, drink and cry...! That means I love it.

I do remember this song but the version I heard was the one by Little Royal on King Records/Tri-Us Records 1972 from the album "Jealous." King, which had lost James Brown, was trying to boost Liltle Royal to take their top spot; his version of "Losing Battle" is definitely worth checking out, along with the single and title album title "Jealous," a remake of the original Garland Green song.

I discovered Johnny by accident. I was a DJ at Virginia State. Played him as much as I could. Loved his sound. Was sad when he passed away.

Absolute perfection from yet another underappreciated legend ..............Thanks

This is the song that Mac Rebbenack wrote. Listen to the piano in the background, beautiful fills while letting the singer take the front. Thanks for posting, this is my favorite Johnny Adams song!

Johnny could sing anything ; soul , blues , jazz , gospel. I was fortunate enough to grow up in New Orleans where I saw him perform live many times. Don't know why he never caught on nationally . Far lesser talents have made millions with mediocre material.
