@bakedsushi I agree with you 100%..Even at 90+ years, Johnny had all his mental faculties and had good clarity in speech. Throughout his life, he had a wonderful camaraderie with musicians from every musical genre. His coolness and genuine interest in people culturally transcended across the world. Wouldn't it be nice if people in general had such rapport with HUMANITY? Many of them should watch this video and learn something from this Cool Cat! What a great legacy he leaves behind. Thanks:-D!
You go, Johnny O! Thanks for your open-mindedness, your blindness to bigotry, and your warm generous heart toward people of color, especially at a time when Jim Crow resented such unity among the races.You bridged the color spectrum with your music. And thanks for discovering Etta James who joins you in deep sleep today. High "FIVE" to you and Etta, Johnny! You both will forever be remembered always and forever!
