He moved to Baton Rouge, La when he was 5 years old, and Louisiana music had a strong influence on him. My mom went to high school with him at Baton Rouge High.
Johnny wrote this one himself, it went to #1!!! He was from Louisiana. He's the same guy that wrote and sang the song Secret Agent Man, for a TV show of the same ttle back then and THAT became a big hit also. But Poor Side of Town is a song I get mental picture of lunging around at the beach 1966, not a care n the world....
Sher, great choice of a singer and song. John is one of the greatest singers ever, this song is incredibly good. Many very good songs. Baby I need Yr Loving, Memphis, Mountain of Love(probably my favorite), Summer Rain, Rocking Pneumonia and more I believe he's still performing in 2024.
Ok, Sheray. Johnny Rivers made a lot of women swoon back in the 6o's. Here's a few more hits to continue your particular case of the vapors as they used to say. MEMPHIS, ROCKIN' PNEUMONIA AND THE BOOGIE WOOGIE FLU, BABY I NEED YOUR LOVING & SECRET AGENT MAN, which is inspired by the glut of spy movies that tried to capitalize on the success of the James Bond series. Movies like Our Man Flint, Matt Helm, and the television shows like Get Smart and I, Spy. Keep going and enjoy
Im so happy you enjoyed this johnny is of Italian descent from Brooklyn then moved to Baton Rouge Louisiana but it seems he wasted mo time incorporating the Southern drawl into his music. Check out hus other hits
Hi there, Sheray ! Nice reaction to a beautiful song... I love so much seeing you falling in love with all these different groups, singers, bands and different styles of music... I love when young people are open to any new music and love to discover it just like you do. Anyway, are you going to react to my latest suggestion from Eivor soon ? Eivor : Falling free (Live at the Old Theater in Torshavn) I only can repeat myself... I ghuarantee you, you'll be speechless, mesmerized and blown away by this song ! And yes, I know I am persistant, but I also know that persistance pays off someday. 🙂 Best wishes from Germany : Gerry

He moved to Baton Rouge, La when he was 5 years old, and Louisiana music had a strong influence on him. My mom went to high school with him at Baton Rouge High.
