Outside of #Louisiana, #JohnnyAdams was not well known to the rest of the world, but he should have been.
He was a fantastic blues, soul, jazz and on occasions gospel singer, who effortlessly sang from the heart & put so many "big name" soul artists to shame.
This is great!

Johnny Adams - Salt of the Earth
New Orleans artist Johnny Adams was born today in 1932! In 1972 he released a cover of this Rolling Stones song as a single. So good. (It's not on From the Heart).

#Interestingly Johnny Adams had a regional hit in 1959 with “I Won’t Cry,” written by his upstairs neighbor Dorothy LaBostrie, and produced by a teenager named Mac Rebennack… #JohnnyAdams #DorothyLaBostrie #MacRebenack #OneHitWondered
#Interestingly They called him the ‘Tan Canary,’ because Johnny Adams could sing the blues, jazz, and gospel with a smooth falsetto & dramatic vocal style due to his multi-octave vocal range. The man could sing! #JohnnyAdams #OneHitWondered
#OneHitHistory The week ending July 26, 1969, New Orleans R&B/soul singer Johnny Adams earned US #OneHitWonder honors when his pleading soul ballad “Reconsider Me” entered the US #Billboard #Top40 at #38. It spent 4 weeks on the chart, peaking at #28. #JohnnyAdams #OneHitWondered
One random album per day from my collection...no matter how many days it takes. No review, no explanation...just the album cover.
