About Johnny
Johnny's Great Uncle - Henry Whitter is the man who wrote, (several respected Country Music Historians verify this fact) and recorded, that wonderful best selling country song
''The Wreck Of The Southern 'Ol 97'' Henry was actually on board that actual train wreck! A man called Vernon Dalhart later recorded Henry's song of the train wreck and his version became the first million selling Country Music Song selling around SIX MILLION copies! Henry Whitter was also reputed to have been the first artist to record the Blue Grass genre of Country Music. Every year in his home town of Fries, (pronounced FREEZE) Virginia, they hold a weekly tribute to Henry Whitter in recognition of his contributions to early American Country Music which kick started the genre's popularity Worldwide. Johnny Ramone has followed in Uncle Henry's footsteps. He was the first artist ever to have American country music songs to be air-played by an 'Iron Curtain' country - The German Democratic Republic's National Radio Station and followed by most of the Eastern European National Radio Stations. The songs were his first two Comstock records hit singles 'As long as you love me' and 'Where did I go right?' recorded in August 1988 and produced by Nashville's favourite lady producer Patty Parker and engineered by Johnny's great friend Jim Williamson. These songs were played for over two whole years in more than 14,000 American prestige radio stations Nationwide, including the acclaimed TRANS AMERICAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION syndicator networks (TABC) in Hollywood, California. The songs were immediately hugely popular with the public and were extensively airplayed throughout Europe, Scandinavia, Australia, Canada, South Africa, and here in the UK by BBC Radio. TODAY - 30 YEARS LATER - THESE TWO SONGS ARE STILL BEING CHARTED AND RADIO PLAYED WORLDWIDE In 1994/95 Johnny recorded - together with his lady singing partner Abby Scott - the highly successful Country Music Album ''CROSSING THE POND'' making ''ABBY & JOHNNY'' an instant hit with American audiences throughout the USA and Canada. His memorable heartfelt version of THE AMERICAN TRILOGY is one of the in demand songs he presents in his Stage Show and always receives a standing ovation from appreciative audiences everywhere he performs it. Click on the arrow opposite and listen to it now, and you will be be amazed at the emotion and power with which Johnny delivers this American ''Anthem''. His recording career spans several decades and includes a number of European hit songs with several well known groups.
