529.0. "Michael Johnson" by HGRD01::QA () Tue Oct 26 1993 01:56

        Do anyone here remember who is Michael Johnson ?
    
        Hint #1: His songs was often played on the radio during the late
                 1970's ?
    
        Hint #2: see next note. (But only when you need it.)

529.1Hint #2HGRD01::QATue Oct 26 1993 02:0213
        Hint #2: He sang the song "Bluer than blue".
    
        I guess your memory should have come back by now, 
    
        Although he never became a first-line singer, I personally like his
        music very much. He was also one of those 2nd-line singers like Stephen
        Bishop who haven't been given a lot of opportunity for their overdue 
        talents.
     
        Anyway, let's talk on his songs.

    Interesting, I always liked Michael Johnson. He had the recipe down pat
    for "schmaltzy" ballads, but I did like his voice and style.
    
    I have a very obscure early album of his that has an excellent version
    of a Jackson Browne song called "My opening Farewell". 
    
    The album was called "There is a breeze" I think. Ever heard of it?

    RE: .2
    
    I don't have the one you mentioned, I used to have an old copy of
    the "Bluer than blue" single.
    
    do you know which record does this track come from ? Is it
    from the record "That's that" ?

    Hi,
    
    Not sure, but I know I have the Album at home. I think it was called
    
    "Michael Johnson"
    
    Pretty Clever, huh?

529.6Another hit !HGRD01::STEVELIUThu Oct 28 1993 22:4812
    
    Thanks.
    
    There goes my 2 guesses.
    
    Well, I remember another favorite hit of his "this night won't last
    forever". Good stuff ! do you have it on the same album ?
