Johnny Rivers was born as John Ramistella and became Johnny Rivers because Allan Freed gave him this alias or atistic name.
He get much success in 60's with this and other hits, like "Poor Side of Town".
Johnny is one of the best of Rock & Roll all times ¡¡¡

My much older brother who was 14yrs older than me, was a pretty good guitar player, still is, but I remember this song coming out. I was 7 yrs old and my brother used to play it on his electric guitar and we would sing it together. He was drafted in late 1967 into the Vietnam war. We didn't see him for 4yrs and only heard from him a few times. I bought that record and would listen to it for hrs. We didn't know if he was dead or alive. It made me feel close to him. He was in for 7 yrs and happily in 1974 he came home for good unharmed.

This song was released on February 1966 "Secret Agent Man" is a song written by P.F. Sloan and Steve Bam. The most famous recording of the song was made by Johnny Rivers for the opening titles of the American broadcast of the British spy series Danger Man, which aired in the U.S. as Secret Agent. Rivers's version peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #4 on the Canadian RPM chart, one of the biggest hits of his career. Numerous covers and adaptations have been recorded since then with the song becoming both a rock standard and one of Johnny Rivers's signature songs.

This was my first ever 45….Back in those days in southern California school buses played songs from the radio and I knew I had to buy it. Nancy Sinatra’s These Boots Are Made for Walking was also another favorite. Good times.

I remember hearing this on AM radio as a small boy riding in huge backseat of mom and dad's old '58 Buick! They LOVED this song and I did too. We would sing along together to it! My parents were the coolest ever! Dads been gone since '90...miss him bad...mom still hanging in and STILL COOL! :-D Thanks to all who post these time machine classics here for all we old guys&gals to remember and enjoy!
