One of Johnny’s favorite genres of music to perform are classic hits made famous on the radio. Before celestial radio and FM radio was the golden age of AM. Back then the coolest high-tech gadget you could have was a transistor radio that could fit in your pocket. On hot summer nights you could extend the antenna and listen to your favorite baseball team. And on sunny beach days the airwaves would be filled with the great music of the day. On one station you could hear the British invasion, on another Diana Ross and the Supremes, on yet another, Tom Jones or Elvis Presley. Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and Lesley Gore were all the rage during this great time in pop music history. These were the classic hits and the soulful standards that cemented the reputation of the late 20th century as one of the greatest times in pop music.
