After the political theme from # 3163, we progress on the supplemental supplemental chart to position # 3162 which was one of those songs that I missed during the dark period from mid 1957 to early 1959. The song was a favorite of Cousin Brucey on the Saturday night show back in the early and mid sixties. It is by a Bronx duo called Johnnie and Joe and for those who care, Johnnie was a girl and Joe was a fellow. Is heterophobic a word yet? Oh, it is heterophobia. Nasty word. Racist. Intolerable. Invented by the left. A Pelosi thing from San Francisco. Take anyone using that word to the pillory, place them in shackles and fetters, screw the sixth amendment. Too bad this is not Johnny and Joe. Sorry. But we will travel "Over the Mountain and Across the Sea" which is a good theme song for lovers no matter whom they may be.

Johnnie & Joe were an American R&B vocal duo from The Bronx, who were best known for their 1957 hit "Over the Mountain, Across the Sea."Johnnie Louise Richardson (June 29, 1935, Montgomery, Alabama - October 25, 1988, New York City)[1] and Joe Rivers (March 20, 1937, Charleston, South Carolina[2]) began singing together in 1957 and released several singles on Chess Records,[3] which were leased from J & S Records, to whom the duo were under contract. Richardson was the daughter of the J&S label owner, Zelma "Zell" Sanders, who had been a touring member of The Hearts.[2

Rex Garvin is the other voice on the record. And he wrote the song Over the Mountain (Across the Sea).

I think they overdubbed Johnnie's voice there.

There's obviously a third voice on the record--probably a backup singer.

This is fascinating and a true stroll down memory lane. The footage was from the Milt Grant Show who was Washington DC's Dick Clark in the late 50's and 60's. He introduced the piece which did me in. I was on the Dance Party as a musician and occasionally as a dancer. Lovin' it.

I guess this one effects me more than all the rest... Sitting high on a hill looking out at the sea... Waiting for that one love... What fantasies and fun we had just being dopey kids in the fifties. I feel blesses to have had that.

we were young, in love, whatever that meant back then. But it was INNOCENT love, one person to another, making mistakes..yes, but still in true love.
