About the time that I moved to Los Angeles to work for the songwriting factory, American Music, I began to attend Elvis' private parties at his home in Bel Air. Johnny Rivers and I used to get up to the house about three on a Saturday afternoon, because Elvis liked to play demos for us and ask our opinions. He played demos that he made and demos he had been sent by various publishing houses and individuals. Elvis believed that there was "room for us all."
Johnny wasn't Mr. Secret Agent Man - not yet anyway!
See our previous blogs that mention Johnny Rivers by searching this blog and also, go to Johnny's own personal web site (which should be in our LINKS section) to learn more about Johnny Rivers. as a person, entertainer, and an early friend of mine in the music business. There will be more about Johnny as we progress in this blog!
