Please allow me to introduce you to my good friend and business associate - Johnny Ramone (Johnny Whitter).
Johnny's family name is Whitter, his American Great Uncle - Henry Whitter - is the man who wrote, (several respected Country Music Historians verify this fact) and recorded, one of country music's early million selling country music songs. His song was later recorded by acclaimed singer Vernon Dalhart, whose version sold over SIX MILLION copies.
''The Wreck Of The Southern 'Ol 97''
Henry Whitter was on board that actual train which was wrecked that day , luckily, he was unscathed!
Henry Whitter was also reputed to have been the first artist to record the Blue Grass genre of Country Music. Every year in his hometown 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 has followed in 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, who is himself a 'legend' in Nashville recording circles. Sadly Jim Williamson passed away in nashville Tennessee in 2020. He leaves an amazing legacy of his engineering skills on so many top International labels and so many famous names from the Country Music genre - including those of Johnny Ramone and Gina Madison (Abby & Johnny).
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 air played throughout Europe, Scandinavia, Australia, Canada, South Africa, and here in the UK by BBC Radio.
In 1994/95 Johnny recorded the phenomenally 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 (see above video)
THE AMERICAN TRILOGY
Johnny ends his Country Music Stage Shows with the American Trilogy and always receives a standing ovation from appreciative audiences.
His recording career spans almost seven decades and includes several European hit songs with several well-known groups. In fact, Johnny has worked with more world-famous recording artists over the years than most artists can declare.
In the United Kingdom, Johnny has graced the stage of many National venues, the most prominent being The Talk Of The Town London.
Other prestigious venues include The Astor Club London, The Carousel Club Piccadilly, Litherland Theatre Club Liverpool, St Georges Hall Liverpool, Batley Variety Club, Churchills Club London, Harvey Nichols Knightsbridge London, Colston Hall Bristol, Webington Country Club Somerset, Princess Theatre Torquay, Festival Hall Torquay, Sladnor Park Country Club Maidencombe, Torquay, as well as numerous leading Hotel groups, Ladbroke's holiday resorts, and literally hundreds hundreds of U.K. WMC Clubs , both large and small.
He is also known as a keen supporter of many Charities and Military Camps and Bases, having regularly appeared in the past for the British and American bases in the UK and Europe. He now keenly supports
''Help The Heroes''.

LATEST NEWS
EUROPEAN TOURS
From the late 1960's to the late 1970's Johnny toured extensively throughout Germany and the Benelux Countries both with his popular band ''Johnny Ramone and the Strollers'', and in addition as a much sought-after solo Cabaret Artist working alongside some of the biggest stars in European Showbusiness. He recorded several 'hits' on the Telstar record label and became hugely popular with British and American Military Establishments whom he has insisted that his Management always put at the top of his bookings lists whenever possible. He was managed by two great managers whilst touring in Europe - namely Mr Nico Hinssen for all non military contracts in Benelux and Germany, and Mr Bruce Boanabright for all British and American military contracts.
As an ex serving regular member of the Royal Air Force Johnny has pledged his support to ''Help the Heroes'' Campaign, and other charitable organisations who raise money for the widows and dependants of our brave men and women who have sacrificed their lives in the defence of freedom.
Johnny speaks Dutch with a fluent ''Limburgse Taal'' and over the years has endeared himself to us here in Holland as ''Een Echt Limburger''
