He mostly did cover songs.

Chuck Berry’s ‘Memphis’ is the superior cut.

‘Secret Agent’ and ‘Summer Rain’ was probably his best efforts.

Memphis
Mountain of Love

When this guy does a song, he defines it. What a great sense of how a song should sound!

I believe Johnny Rivers was the only white singer on Motown Records.

Is Rivers in the R&R HOF? I heard he was not because of his politics and the head man there said as long as he was in charge, Rivers was not getting in.
