Book Released 2006
Price: $19.99
Ships in 24 hours
Ric says: What a fine and superb fact-based book Tad has finally unleashed on us. This has got to be the nicest book available to date for insights into who Johnnie Ray was, and is, to his fans to this day, and why, also the truth about his life, good and bad, and how his fans adored him through the good and bad. A must for any fan or anyone who wants to know more than just what songs were hits and how many shows were sold out. This book was written by someone who probably spent more time with Johnnie Ray than anyone else alive today, good reading.

Johnnie Ray / Audio CD / Released 1999.

Our Price:  $10.49     
Usually ships in 4-6 days
Ric says: This is an excellently produced CD, notice the track listings and I'm sure you will be more than eager to hear this very much sought-after CD immediately. Johnnie recorded many familiar tunes on this album, but made them his own, recording them in the "Johnnie way". This album was originally issued only in England as "Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow" in 1976, it is finally available now world-wide, these tunes were done so "contemporarily" with a personal touch by our favorite artist. "It's Impossible", "It's All Over" & the medley are breath-taking.

"REMEMBERING JOHNNIE RAY"

SOLD OUT AGAIN

Ric says: We have been waiting for this CD to come back on line, (it was last seen for sale at Amazon.com in 2005) it contains the last recordings Johnnie did before he passed away, all newer versions of his old hits. The sound quality of "Hernando's Hideaway" is much better on this collection than the original. Used copies pop up on Amazon.com every now and then.

Ric says: These recordings were done by Johnnie in the 1980's, re-recordings in stereo of his biggest hits. The unique thing about this CD is the liner notes, they give detailed info about Johnnie's funeral and a line from the eulogy. This is part of Curb Record's Legendary Artists Series. Nice article by Marie Potter of Peoria, Arizona on the Amazon.com site, click the CD to read it.

SOLD OUT, but used copies are available:     

Ric says: Although some fool cut Johnnie's part of the promotional shot off of the original cover, (he was on the right, holding Marilyn Monroe's arm) it is Johnnie in colour and on screen, I've watched Johnnie's scenes over a hundred times! The distributor has recently re-issued a new cover with no one else but Marilyn Monroe on the cover.

Ric says: The hard back book that comes with this second box set is even more fabulous than the first!
