Johnny Johnson And The Bandwagon

Johnny Johnson and the Bandwagon were a U.S. vocal soul group, prominent in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Originally known simply as The Bandwagon, they were formed in 1967 and featured Artie Fullilove, Billy Bradley, Terry Lewis (5) and lead singer, Johnny Johnson (5). In 1969 the group disbanded, and all subsequent releases were billed as Johnny Johnson and His Bandwagon. In effect, the act was basically Johnson plus additional vocalists, who were hired for recording, touring and TV performances. Johnson had not been well for several years, and the pressures of constantly touring during the early 1970s took a heavy toll, and he ended the band. He died of cancer in 1979.
