Johnnie & Joe

Johnnylouise Richardson and Joe Rivers teamed in 1957 for a series of singles on Chess. Their finest was "Over the Mountain, Across the Sea," which made it to number three on the R&B charts and number eight on the pop side. It was one of two Top 10 R&B singles they enjoyed, with "My Baby's Gone" reaching #15 and completing their string. ~ Ron Wynn
