Johnny Guitar - The Spotnicks - Cover by Dave Monk

“Johnny Guitar“ is a famous song written by Peggy Lee (lyrics) and Victor Young (music) and was the title track of the 1954 film Johnny Guitar directed by Nicholas Ray and starring Joan Crawford. The instrumental for the song is used over the opening credits and throughout the film. The song is played on the piano by Joan Crawford (dubbed) and sung partially at the end by Peggy Lee. The song became an instant classic and has been covered many times as a song and as an instrumental. Instrumental covers were made by The Leemen, The Spotnicks, Group Seven in the 1960s. The fabulous backing track (Rumba Style) is by Rudy G Dela Vega (Roodie707) available on YouTube. Thanks Rudy. Rudy has also produced a cover verion which is just superb and a slow motion tutorial. Anyway, here is my version. I hope you like it. Dave
