my thoughts on Johnny:
okay...never been a big fan of his or his music, but he was as important to early Australian Rock n Roll as elvis Presley was to US R+R, or even Cliff Richard was to UK R+R...
i like a few of his singles(another one is linked below), i remember as a youngster that the scenes int he streets when he died were equal to those in the US upon the death of Elvis and Lennon, so he obviously meant a lot to Aussie music fans
