Lyrics:
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
Stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Good
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar just like ringing a bell
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Johnny B. Good
His mama told him "someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear your playing music when the sun goes down
Maybe someday you name will be in lights saying "Johnny B. Good tonight"
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Johnny B. Good
His mama told him "someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear your playing music when the sun goes down
Maybe someday you name will be in lights saying "Johnny B. Good tonight"
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Johnny B. Good

Fred Wesley: The Legendary Trombonist Who Changed Funk Forever

Fred Wesley: The Legendary Trombonist Who Changed Funk Forever Hotney 88 Streams • 11 months ago

🎙️ What’s it like to write funk history alongside James Brown, George Clinton, and Count Basie? In this electrifying episode, Rob Cass sits down with the legendary Fred Wesley — trombonist, composer, and bandleader — whose horn helped shape the very sound of soul, funk, and jazz across generations. From sharing the stage with his father to jamming with Pee Wee Ellis and Maceo Parker, Fred tells it all with groove, grit, and a lot of heart. 🎺🔥

Fred walks us through his incredible journey: his first big break, his pivotal time in James Brown’s band (where he helped create iconic hits like Hot Pants and Mother Popcorn), and how he went on to reinvent funk with George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic. He talks candidly about being offered a seat in Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, his unforgettable work with Count Basie, and yes — even wild shows, career regrets, and writing his autobiography Hit Me, Fred. 📚✨

From leading The J.B.'s to teaching jazz at Berklee, Fred Wesley is a living piece of music history — and in this rare, unfiltered conversation, he brings you behind the curtain of a life spent making music with the greats. 🎶 Whether you're a funk lover or music nerd, this episode is a deep dive into the soul of the groove.

Gladys Knight & The Pips - Midnight Train to Georgia - 11/06/1976 • TopPop

Gladys Knight & The Pips - Midnight Train to Georgia - 11/06/1976 • TopPop Hotney 17 Streams • 2 years ago

On june 11th, 1976 a very special concert took place in the studio's of the dutch TROS tv-programme "Music all Inn". The audience witnessed a great concert of Gladys Knight and (her family group) the Pips, and as a special guest starred Al Foster, the drummer who played for a long time with Miles Davis. Here Gladys performs "Midnight train to Georgia". Songwriter Jim Weatherly created this song, that was originally titled "Midnight plane to Houston". Starlett (and the later actress) Farah Fawcett was on the phone with Jimmy, when she suddenly said she had no time, because she had to take the plane to Houston"... The song was inspired by the story of Fawcett and her friend/husband Lee Majors. Short story: a girl comes to L.A., doesn;t make it and takes a plane home. The guy accompanies her. The song was an instant success, but became really famous when Gladys Knight and the Pips recorded it as :Midnight train to Georgia".
