Johnny & Hurricanes
Another of my heroes is gone.
Johnny Paris is the founder of Johnny ah Hurricanes. They made a lot of terrific instrumentals end 50's and early 60's.
Splendid sax playing on their r'n'roll records. One really can't sit still !
A few years ago I digitalized some of their hits and now I will share them here with you.
It's 78MB ripped at 160Kbits, but my source is vinyl ! I've included some scans.
I'm sure you can get their hits still everywhere in music stores in CD quality but I certainly will like this more. Major tickles have been removed by me but there are some crackles left. To me that gives the 'right' oldies sound !
Please look at the comments : this will not be uploaded again !!!

I really can't answer your question.
Hope someone else can.
I searched the net for some info but found nothing to answer your question.
Maybe your only chance is to ask his widow Sonja Reuter (see above).
She can be reached by the legacy guestbook mentioned above.
I can assure you, Johnny was never in the military and never served in Viet Nam. He continued performing till the age of 65 in 2005. Please visit our website, and we welcome any and all comments. I will always respond personally to all questions and comments. Thanks to all his fans and friends around the world for keeping his music alive.
Yours in Music, Duane Thomas, Lead Guitar www.johnnyandthehurricanes.com or c/o hurricane.duane@atilarecords.com
Everyone, please visit his website !!
At the moment of this writing it was over a year ago when Johnny Paris died.
Read at Sonja Reuter's guestbook a few weeks ago she placed some roses at his grave.
To us very nice, to her a loving memory.
threats just piss me off even more.......i would have posted every single item ever recorded anywhere on earth by Johnny & The Hurricanes just out of spite
It seems I am a different guy.
At that time I did a little research about Sonja Reuter and I understood who she was.
She just lost her husband and I can imagine her feelings about a lot of things.
So I respected her wish. To me quite simple.
Maybe she thinks different now, I don't know.
For the time being I stick with my 2006_june/july decision.
You will not be disappointed if you lay hands on a (compilation) album of J&H. It's great music !
Maybe one song is not too bad. But a whole album? Then there is nothing to buy. Which is fine if you are a Communist, but Capitalism is about buying...and respecting somebody else's rights.
And no, busy artists, their agents or their widows need not ask "please" when it involves theft.
Am I important because my father is a Nobel prize winner ?
If someone wants to be my friend with that in their mind.... Not a real friend.
My friend can only be my friend because of me and her/him.
I suppose it has something to do with her own stuff : dog breeding thing.
So I can understand her choice of (still) using her born name and even appreciate it.
Sonja does in fact use her legal last name "PARIS". And one should realize all the worldwide misuses of illegally obtained tunes, it reaches into the thousands of dollars.
Some things will always belong to the owners of legally copyrighted material, books, songs, poetry.
And thats as it should be.
God Bless all...
