Johnny Tillotson

Johnny Tillotson's artistic ability and energetic personality consistently delight audiences of all age groups. While Johnny was finishing his studies at the University of Florida, he recorded his own composition "Dreamy Eyes". This song went to the top of the charts in Florida and many other parts of the country, which proved to Archie that Johnny had what it took to sell records. He invited Johnny to move to New York City immediately upon graduating from college. This was the start of a string of chart records including "Poetry In Motion", It Keeps Right On a Hurtin", "Without You", "Send Me The Pillow That You Dream On" and many more. It was "It Keeps Right On A Hurtin", one of Johnny's own compositions which brought Johnny his first Grammy nomination along with the distinction of becoming one of the first "cross-over" artists. This established Johnny as a country-pop star. The song went on to be recorded by 108 artists including Elvis Presley and most recently it became a #1 selling country hit by Billy Joe Royal. With 18 Chart records to his credit he moved to M.G.M. Records where his first release "Talk Back Trembling Lips" was a huge success. This was followed by another 8 chart records including "Heartaches By The Number", which gave Johnny his second Grammy nomination for Best Vocal Performance. He also recorded the popular hit theme song for the T.V. show "Gidget" starring Sally Field. His other hits included "She Understands Me", "Worry", and "You're The Reason". These hits and his endearing personality and stage presence have enabled Johnny to have a very successful concert career, entertaining audiences all over the world. Having recently completed a tour of the United Kingdom with Brenda Lee, he will be touring solo this year in Australia, as well as performing in concerts and fairs all over the United States. We hope that you will experience the excitement and warmth that Johnny imparts to this audiences throughout the world.
