"Blueberry Hill"

I found my thrill
On blueberry hill
On blueberry hill
When I found you...

Biography

Like many his age, Johnny Lee grew up on the music of Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, and Jerry Lee Lewis. Raised on a dairy farm in Alta Loma, TX, he formed his first band, Johnny Lee & the Road Runners, during high school. He tricked his way into playing on-stage with Mickey Gilley at a Houston club called ~the Nesadel, and that shot brought him a long-term run at Gilley's clubs. When #Urban Cowboy was shot at ~Gilley's, record executive Irving Azoff offered Lee an opportunity to sing in the picture, and he ended up with a song that more than 20 artists had previously rejected. In his hands, that song -- "Lookin' for Love" -- became a million-seller and the musical centerpiece of the movie.
