Many more followed, including his #1, "Poor Side of Town" and #3 "Secret Agent Man".The Music of Johnny Rivers tells the story of how young John Ramistella of Baton Rouge, Louisiana pursued his dream to follow in the footsteps of Fats Domino and Elvis Presley and make a career in music. But, success did not come easy, nor did it come quickly. A name change by legendary disc jockey Alan Freed began Johnny's journey to stardom.

He traveled to Vietnam to entertain the troops and he won a Grammy for producing a 5th Dimension #1 hit. Among Johnny's other major hits are: "Mountain of Love", "Rockin' Pneumonia", "Slow Dancin'", "Baby I Need Your Lovin'. RIvers placed 17 records in the Top 40, and sixteen LPs in the top album charts.
