When Did This Happen?


Johnny Rivers turned 65 today... Good grief. How in the world did that happen? Thought I was looking, but apparently, not close enough. Those years have just flown by! I remember convertibles, football games, letter jackets and ten pound class rings. I never was found on "lovers lane" but I heard that a few people were...found that is...sorry, I can't name names. ANYway, he's a great listen, if you're so inclined. Happy birthday big guy...it was once in a lifetime. Night all!

His music was just a little before my time, although my older sisters listened to him quite a bit, therefore I did too.

His music was still being played when I was a young girl. "Secret Agent Man" was all I ever heard 'though. d:

I can remember my uncle playing and singing his music. He sounded just like him to me.

Now I've got his Memphis, TN song running through my head. :-)
