Johnny Tillotson

Johnny Tillotson had a music television program as a teenager in Florida before landing a string of hit recordings including his smash hit “Poetry In Motion” in 1961. A year later Johnny wrote the song “It Keeps Right On a-Hurtin’” which was not only a top ten hit for him but later recorded by Elvis Presley among other artists. Johnny’s friendship with Elvis goes back to the days Elvis was on the road following a few recordings for Sun Records, several months before the young truck driver signed for RCA and hit the big time. Johnny continued to perform, write and record with his passion and music making until is passing in April 2025.
