"Poor Side Of Town" #1 11/12/1966

The only #1 record for Johnny Rivers. Most of his earlier hits had been recorded live at the famed Whisky a Go Go on the Sunset Strip as he christened the place when it opened in 1964. This one was a complete style change. Johnny is still out there on the road a-rockin'. My wife and I caught his show recently in Gulfport, Miss. and he's as good as ever. This song is probably in my all-time personal Top 10. Ever.
