RIP Johnnie.
Man! Sometimes it seems that this place is becoming one long obituary column.
Johnnie was the man, the real deal. I read the article. I never knew that Chuck Berry had shafted him like that. As much as I revere Chuck, that bit of info darkens my opinion of him a little.
The irony is that Chuck was originally supposed to be part of Johnnie's band, but things worked out differently.
Johnnie's one of the all-time rock and roll giants in my book. It would be interesting to hear Chuck Leavell weigh in on his passing.
