If you want more Johnny Rivers, try Secret Agent Man. The song was used in the 60's tv show Secret Agent.

Gotta give major props to the backup singers, they nailed it.

His 1972 hit, "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu" is excellent.

Johnny Rivers, never sang a bad song. He was and is one of my favorite singers.

Summer Rain is my absolute favorite Johnny Rivers song. Mountain of Love, Memphis, Baby I Need Your Lovin, and of course, Secret Agent Man.

Johnny Rivers is one of the best Singer's of all time.

Poor Side Of Town by Johnny Rivers charted September 17, 1966 and it was his biggest hits and Johnny Rivers had a total of 32 singles his singles was between 1964 to 1977

Johnny Rivers has a ton of hits where you can hear the full range of his vocals, Summer Rain, Memphis, Slow Dancing, Seventh Son, Secret Agent Man and many more! He deserves a listen.

Johnny Rivers had a lot of good songs: Cripple Creek, Memphis Tennessee, Rockin Pneumonia and Boogie Woogie Flu. It’s a rabbit hole.

Poor Johnny......he had to fight the British invasion, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones & others. Always loved his voice !!❤😎👌

Need to do Secret Agent Man by Johnny Rivers

you can't judge rivers by this one song. he was and is a great singer

Other songs with the same sort of story is Billy Joe Royal's Down In The Boondocks and The 4 Seasons RagDoll and Dawn.

So many 60's songs for you to hear. A few off the top of my mind are: "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" by the Four Seasons, "Groovin" by the Young Rascals, "Tell Her No" by the Zombies, "Go Now" by Moody Blues, "Because" by Dave Clark Five, "I've Got To Get A Message To You" by the Bee Gees, "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" by the Animals, "Daydreamer Believer" by the Monkeys, "The Air that I Breathe" by the Hollies and "Can't Find My Home" by Cream. Any Beatles song from their early albums. This is an eclectic group but the 60s had many styles from pop to harder rock as the decade progressed.

My dad’s absolute favorite song. Just played this for him in the hospital and brought a huge smile to his face ❤️

There is only one...Johnny Rivers. He will capture you and never let you go!

When I saw Johnny Rivers I thought this was going to be “Secret Agent Man”. That was his biggest hit. But this was great.

This is just a GREAT SONG, music and lyrics, ,,,,and done so well by Johnny Rivers. TIMELESS!!

Secret Agent Man, Mountain of Love, and Rockin’ Pneumonia, and the Boogie Woogie Flu..Oh, and Memphis Tennessee! All great songs by Johnny Rivers.. please check out some Jesse Winchester, too, Nothing But A Breeze..

Those early eras of music didn't use all those gadgets to enhance singers voices they were pure vocalists and musicians

"Baby I Need Your Lovin'" is my favorite Johnny Rivers song.

Johnny Rivers' iconic classics: "Memphis" and "Mountain Of Love" (both were monster hits in the early to mid 60s) Little known fact: Johnny Rivers was the opening act for the "Whisky A Go Go" when it debuted in Los Angeles: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky_a_Go_Go

Johnny Rivers was hugely popular back in the day. And unique. Even in 2022 he is his own special blend. Who can be compared with him directly. No one for me.

Johnny Rivers is the real deal. Just a man and his guitar. Slow dancing !!

I haven't heard Johnny in at least 40 years, probably longer. He was one of my school girl crushes. Welcome back inlife Johnny. . Beautiful couple thank you for taking me was way waaaaaay back.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

60s coolness is Johnny Rivers. Many others by him. Summer Rain, Memphis Tennessee

Johnny Rivers - "Slow Dancing" is a must!!!

Johnny Rivers' Seventh Son is a jam!! 😎😎

Check out the history of this guy. He is responsible for a lot of rock history

If you want some more Johnny Rivers… His best songs are “Slow Dancing Swaying to the Music” and “Summer Rain” He is so underrated, needs more love and appreciation.

I always loved Johnny Rivers voice. So mellow and soothing.

Johnny is from my hometown of Baton Rouge. For a more uptempo song check out Mountain of Love. By the way this performance was from Dick Clark’s very popular show American Bandstand. You knew you made it when you were invited to be on his show.

His version of "Memphis Tennessee" is a must listen, although Chuck Berry's is the original.

His voice is much better in Slow Dancing. It will melt your heart girl!

I have loved all his songs, Mountain of Love is great!

Johnny Rivers is amazing! So many great songs I'm not even sure what to recommend for you next. Interestingly, I actually share a birthday with Johnny Rivers: November 7th (though I was born in 1975 while he was in 1942). I think this time I'm going to recommend "Seventh Son." It's one of my favorite by Johnny Rivers and has such a different sound from this one that it will be a different experience for you. I think you'll really like that one; so much fun!

Summer Rain is another must. Johnny’s voice is all his own and virtually impossible to imitate.

his vocals seriously he's one hell of a powerhouse backed by the blossoms

Thanks for going back to the 60's. More 60's fire: Del Shannon's "Runaway"; Sam and Dave's "Soul Man", The Supremes "Stop In The Name Of Love". There were many more great artists in that decade.

Check out THE COASTERS "Along Came Jones", "Charlie Brown" , "Poison Ivy" THE BIG BOPPER "Chantilly Lace" THE CLOVERS "Devil Or Angel"

My all time favorite by Johnny is Mountain of Love.

*Summer Rain* is a beautiful song by Johnny Rivers 🤩

Johnny Rivers had lots of hits in the 60’s and 70’s. He never stopped recording or playing live. I saw him in 2013 and his voice sounds exactly the same as it did in the 60’s. He was never a smoker or had a drug problem like a lot of performers, so his voice help up perfectly. There are lots of videos of him performing live at different shows on KZfaq and it will blow you away.

Another group you need to listen to is Tommy James and the Shondells. Start with Draggin' The Line

Rockabilly in it's finest. Johnny Rivers is one of my favorite artist from my youth. Thank you for this.

Man, haven't heard this in a LONG time !!!

Big Crush on Johnny. This is my favorite song of his.

DION, began career in the 1050's with the Belmonts, before going solo in the 1960"s - "Teenager in Love", "I Wonder Why", "The Wonder", and "Runaround Sue". Just to name a few.

johnnys voice is amazing and his back up singers are great too. takes me back to my childhood..

I think you way underrate his voice.He had so many great songs. This might have been his best.

More like mid ‘60’s and seventies with so many great tunes!

The strings and backing vocals add so much to Johnny's great, great vocals. He's a great looking guy as well. Sigh.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This was a good one. Another Johnny that you may like is Johnny Horton. Most of the songs I know by him are a lesson in history. "North to Alaska", "Battle of New Orleans", "Sink the Bismarck", and "Whispering Pines" are some of them. I recently heard The Electrified Donkey by him which was one I never heard of, but was a pretty good one.

Love Johnny Rivers.....seen him at Ocean City MD, years ago, was with my 8 year old daughter, loved him then, love him now, my daughter is now 38 years old and every time we hear his song, she just smiles and says hey, remember Dad!!! Oh by the way, why oh why, isn't Johnny in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

This song was well played back in the day love this era

I'm 65. So happy to see young folks can hear and appreciate the songs of the 60's and 70' and realize and understand what we mean when we say it was the golden age of music. Makes me feel that there is still hope for this world.

Johnny Rivers' greatest talent was finding promising acts and producing their records. There are many people that owe a debt to Johnny Rivers for their success.

Great song! Johnny Rivers had one of the most soothing voices of all time.

Absolutely love this song, and how about the lyrics and being able to understand what the singer is saying! Makes it a whole lot better

Johnny's music is great his voice and the Orchestra backing him really do great telling the story

Amber needs to hear Travis Tritt’s song “Here’s A Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)” 😂😂☮️🌼♥️

His "Tone" is everything... It's that way with a lot of singers. You can relate to what he's singing because his tone makes it palatable...

This is a new one for me. Loved it! Something about his pronunciation/phrasing of words has me very intrigued.

Slow Dancin', Swayin' to the Music is one of the best love songs ever written.

Johnny's sooo good. He did some fabulous covers of Motown songs. If I hear a Johnny Rivers song when I'm station hopping in my car, I will stop & listen. So many good ones! This was his only #1 song. He was also a mover & shaker. He started his own label & signed on The 5th Dimension & was credited in giving Jimmy Webb his big break (thank you Johnny, for that!)

I'm so glad you reacted to Johnny Rivers! Any song by him is great, but Memphis Tennessee is golden!

Gotta do "Secret Agent Man," or "Memphis." They're kickers.

Johnny Rivers is one of my favourite singers of all time, as well as a great guitar player.

You guys have SO missed out on a great Motown legend, Diana Ross. For Female Friday you need to listen to her. Try AIN’T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH.

Beautiful song. Eu aqui pós-operatório curtindo johnny

He has some great songs. Secret Agent Man, Slow Dance…Swaying to the Music, Baby I Need Your Loving

"Rockin Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu", "Mountain of Love", "Secret Agent Man", "Summer Rain", all great songs by Johnny Rivers.😀

I appreciate that your giving so many of the artists from the '50s and '60s a listen!

This is my favorite for a reason. My dad was in a band. He was the drummer. He didn't sing anything. And this was the first song he sang every weekend I would go watch him. He passed away a couple years ago from colon cancer. I love this song because I can just think of him singing this. Much Love! Thanks.

"Secret Agent Man","Slow Dancing,""Mountain of Love".Johnny Rivers is so underrated.He had so many hits. Love this guy.He just has that voice that makes you sit back and listen. Great story teller.

This song was co-written by Johnny Rivers, (born John Henry Ramistella) and Lou Adler, and was released in August of 1966. It reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 list in November of 1966. Background vocals by The Blossoms: Darlene Love, Fanita James, and Jean King.

He does a great cover of "Tracks of my Tears" . My then infant daughter LOVED hearing that song over and over. :)

Beautiful song, The Blossoms on background,.

Secret Agent Man was another good one of his

Frank Sinatra stated "Lou has the CHOPS" Lou Rawls.--- "You'll never find, another love like mine" Al Green----"Let's stay together" Have not seen any reactors on these two artists!

Love Johnny! Poor side of town!!!❤❤❤❤

I agree with Jesse Diaz, "Slow Dancing, swaying to the music" is awesome. It's also the first song I dedicated to my wife (married 27 years now).

Love Johnny Rivers. He had multiple hits. Please do more. Thanks.

Johnny Rivers was an artist my older brother introduced me to in my single digit years in the mid 60's. Rivers is 78 now. The album he had (I still have it!) was 'Johnny Rivers Changes'. I didn't know it until years later, but the 'Changes' part of it was that he was a regular at 'The Whiskey A-Go-Go' on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, CA. singing, what was considered at the time pure hard rock & roll. It was considered antithetical to the 'squares' of the previous generation born in the 40's & 50's. When he did this 'Changes' album, he covered a dozen or so romantic ballads and 'love songs' like 'Poor Side of Town' (he wrote this song), 'Baby I Need Your Lovin', 'Tracks of my Tears', 'By the Time I get to Phoenix', 'Summer Rain' and, one of my favorites, 'California Dreamin'. He has a unique voice and vocal technique for sure. BTW... Rivers recorded the title song for the late night concert-influenced TV show 'The Midnight Special'. :)

I love them all of Johnny Rivers

Oh my gosh, I still have this album! I wore it out! I love it to this day! You should also hear The Tracks of my Tears!!

Johnny could rock out. I saw him in concert and he was one badass performer and a very under rated guitarist.

The 60s had so many great songs. I would recommend Dion's Abraham, Martin and John. It is an absolute must listen.

Love Johnny Rivers. I was so young when this no #1 hit song came on the radio. "Poor Side Of Town" is my all time fav. song of his!

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Gene Pitney yet. ''24 Hours From Tulsa''? ''Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart''?

Swaying to the music is Johnny Rivers absolute Best

His "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu" has piano you will love!!! Totally different than this song, very upbeat!!!

Johnny Rivers had SO many hits! He was great!

🌟Absolutely love Johnny Rivers! I think his voice is special and unique. Try Summer Rain, Baby I need your Loving, and Slow Dancing. Those are a bit slower songs.💗🦋👍

I saw Johnny Rivers live back in the early 2000s at a Holiday oldies concert in Asheville NC called "The Jingle bell Hop". He puts on a great live show and was still touring up until the pandemic, hoping he returns to touring now.

Johnny Rivers ""secret agent man" and then "Baby i need your loving!!!!

Saw him in concert in the late 90s at a ultimate oldies concert great music

Johnny Rivers is a vocal virtuoso!!

Hey Rob and Amber, thanks for another great reaction! I certainly encourage you to try the other commenter's suggestions for Johnny Rivers' other great songs! But here's a group from that era that you may also want to check out: GARY PUCKETT and THE UNION GAP, with such timeless hits as LADY WILLPOWER, YOUNG GIRL, THIS GIRL IS A WOMAN NOW, and OVER YOU, to name just a few. Also, have you reacted to GLEN CAMPBELL yet? With memorable hits such as: WICHITA LINEMAN, GALVESTON, BY THE TIME I GET TO PHOENIX, DREAMS OF THE EVERYDAY HOUSEWIFE, RHINESTONE COWBOY, and many more too! From the 1970's and early 80's, you probably will also like: BREAD (with lead singer DAVID GATES) with hits such as MAKE IT WITH YOU, EVERYTHING I OWN, IF (yes, it's a short title, isn't it?), BABY IM-A WANT YOU, DIARY, AUBREY, IT DON'T MATTER TO ME, LOST WITHOUT YOUR LOVE, and more! You'd also like almost any song by the artist LOBO, or the group AMERICA, or even THREE DOG NIGHT! And Rob, I know that BARRY GIBB is your man! But don't forget to check out more BARRY MANILOW, because you've already reacted to his song MANDY. Well, he's got a LOT of other great songs too! For something more uptempo from BARRY MANILOW, please check out his popular hit COPA CABANA, or the much less remembered song NEW YORK CITY RHYTHM... It will surprise you Rob! And Rob, there's another "Barry" that you might learn to appreciate as well: BARRY WHITE! Check him out, dude! Again, Rob and Amber, thank you so much for taking the time, and making the effort to listen to all these timeless OLD SCHOOL hits!

Johnny Rivers has such an amazing voice.
