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.
