(Click name) GEORGE V JOHNSON JR, a professional career dating back to the early 70's in Washington DC, Born December 20, 1950.
Entertainer and lyricist, writes lyrics about complex things: personal experiences, love, history, family, home, heaven and most of all Jazz! Phrases turn, emotions connect, melodies soa, sweat pours. It’s a fuel that burns full-throttle, ignited by the heat of his soulful voice and the power and passion of his performance.
You sing along even though you’ve never heard the tune before. George writes from a perspective of distances, of interludes between lovers and lives and the roads that lead from small towns to big cities. He continues the legacy with dreams of travelling the world spreading the message.

How's it going, my man? Thanks so much for joining our network! Been pretty busy lately, but am still working towards arranging a hit with you up here in the Syracuse area this fall. We'll get something lined up and get you up here.
Thanks again for joining and we'll talk soon!
Best,
Karl
