NED MILLER, 90, Died March 18, 2016.
Best remembered for the 1963 country crossover hit "from a Jack to a Jill" which went to #6. He had 11 country hits but disliked touring because of stage fright and retired early.
JOHNNY SEA, 75, Died May 14, 2016
He gave a patriotic answer to "Eve of Destruction" titled "Day of Decision" (#35-1966), appeared eight times on country charts 1959-1968. His biggest hits were "Frankie's Man Johnny" (#13-1959) and "Nobody's Darling But Mine" (#13-1960).
This name sounded somewhat familiar to me and then I remembered that while researching the WLS Weekly Top 40s for fifty years ago in 1966, I had come across the #9 song on the June 10, 1966 Survey as "Day of Decision" by a Johnny Sea. I'd never heard it before so went to YouTube and listened to it. More of a talk song, but a very patriotic one.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
