	Johnnie Johnson
		Johnson was also initially rejected by the RAF Volunteer Reserve but they changed their mind after the outbreak of the Second World War.
		Johnnie Johnson's performance was even more creditable because he largely missed the Battle of Britain and won his "kills" in fighter-to-fighter combat rather than against heavy bombers.
		Johnnie's kills were hard-earned, but then Johnson had the two skills needed to be successful; he was a good shot and a good pilot.

	Johnnie Johnson
		Johnson had that sine qua non of the combat pilot, a relentless desire to be at grips with the enemy, which is the hallmark of the finest troops.
		Johnson often likened air combat to wildfowling, and brought to his performance with the 20mm cannon of the Spitfire much the same principles of deflection shooting which had made him so effective against game birds with a shotgun in his youth.
		Johnson was therefore sent to 616 Squadron, Auxiliary Air Force, which was not in the thick of the air fighting at that time.

	Johnnie Johnson Reviews
		Jeff wrote the songs on this CD and produced it with Johnnie and his piano playing in mind, it was all recorded in the old fashioned way that the great blues songs of the past were recorded, live in studio with the whole band in one room, no fixes, just as it happened.
		Johnnie’s playing is the base (or should I say bass?) of this song, there are no piano solos on this one just the super boom, boom of Johnnie’s piano playing all the way through, sure he hits some other notes here and there but the repeating piano line is just too much and too good.
		Johnnie Johnson led Chuck Berry's studio bands and he was the inspiration for Berry's song, and the original Johnny B. Goode.

	Johnnie Johnson, 80, Dies; Hall of Fame Rock Pianist (washingtonpost.com)
		Johnson, once known as the "baddest right hand in the land," was a rollicking thriller on the ivories.
		Johnson continued to help craft Berry's most famous songs, including "Maybellene," "Sweet Little Sixteen," "Roll Over Beethoven" and "Back in the U.S.A."
