General Johnson

May 23, 1943 - October 13, 2010
Singer - Songwriter and one of Beach Music's greats!
From the early 60's right up to 2010 his voice was instantly recognizable. Such great tunes.
39-21-46, It Will Stand, Give Me Just A Little More Time and my favorite, Carlina Girls.
Did you know he wrote "Patches", "One Monkey Don't Stop No Show", and the Honey Cone recorded "Want Ads"?
As long as there's Soul and Beach Music playing General Johnson will be remembered.
Thank you for the music and memories.
