RAY, JOHNNIE
Homebase: The Dalles, OR
Stats: 1927-1990
Misc Notes: As a teenager, Ray made his first demo recording -- an original composition, "The Little White Cloud That Cried" -- in Portland at John Keating's Studios. A later recording of that same tune became an early hit for him. As his career unfolded he became a global sensation, the most exciting singing star in the years between Sinatra's bobbysoxers and Elvis' rockin' empire.
MISC NOTES: Sessions backed by the Four Lads and an orchestra.
