Johnny Holiday

US songwriter, singer, producer from Ohio. He used to sing with a powerful voice who could belt out James Brown or Jackie Wilson style effortlessly - his tag was "Mr. Excitement". He recorded several 45s on WAM, Airtown, and Bold, using local rock-n-roll musicians for backing. The 45 on WAM is an excellent garage shouter. His later 45s, backed by a band called Guardrail, sounded more in the funk style. He played the Youngstown and Akron clubs back and forth for several years.
