Johnny Ace

This is an album track, so you've played it, so you will know it.

But the lyrics are, a man came on the radio, and this is what he said, I hate to break it to his fans, but Johnny Ace is dead.

It was the year of the Beatles, it was the year of the Stones.

Well, this is Paul Simon.

It is.

And it is.

Is it called Johnny Ace?

It's called the late, great Johnny Ace, yeah.

In the middle was Anglo.

So we grew up listening to Anglo, you know? And we imitated the first ones with Perry Carmel, Johnny Ace, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, of course, you know, Patty Page.

Once in a while, you get Adam Hibbler.

But then later on, as time went on in the 50s, the radio changed.

Yeah, that's a song that is loved by everyone.

The name of it, I believe, before that, Jan, Johnny Ace, Saving My Love For You, Little Isidore and Inquisitor, so many great songs by them.

One of them, I believe, is Oceans Apart.

We love that one.

Yeah, that's a song that is loved by everyone.

The name of it, I believe, before that, Jan, Johnny Ace, Saving My Love For You, Little Isidore and Inquisitor, so many great songs by them.

One of them, I believe, is Oceans Apart.

We love that one.

In the first 10 minutes of the movie, we get Be My Baby by the Ronettes, Tell Me by the Rolling Stones, I Looked Away by Derek the Dominoes, and perhaps most notably Jumping Jack Flash when we meet Johnny Boy played by Robert De Niro by the Rolling Stones.

But we also get A ton of other songs, Please, Mr. Postman, Pledging My Love by Johnny Ace, Stepping Out by, I think it was Memphis Slim, Florence by the Paragons, I Met Him on Sunday by the Shirelles.

I mean, it is just a crazy amount of music.

And I do actually, it's funny when I, this is one of the issues I had with the film.

1954!

It's Johnny Ace for you and pledging my love.

Forever my darling My love will be true Always and forever I'll love just you Just promise me darling Your love and reason Make this fire in my soul, dear, forever burn.

My heart's at your command, dear, to keep love and to hold.

Fats Domino is one.

Johnny Ace is another.

Ray Charles, needless to say, is another.

The Moon Glows and Little Anthony and Imperials are others.
