Sleep Walk hit the airwaves in 1959, and added a new sound to Rock ‘n’ Roll, a steel guitar as the lead instrument, unheard of at that time, an instrument associated with country and Hawaiian music used in the background. Sleep Walk reached #1 on the charts and earned them a Gold Record. They did the Alan Freed shows in Brooklyn, and appeared on his TV show several times, along with Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, and The Perry Como Show. Sleep Walk brought them to Europe. They had their own TV show in Italy, covered all the James Bond movie music, were awarded a Gold Record for the Godfather Theme, and inducted into the Hall of Fame in Italy. Sleep Walk has been in over 28 movies, including La Bamba … the day the music … NOW … Sleep Walk celebrates its “60th Anniversary” and is stronger than ever, with its latest use being in Martin Scorsese’s – The Irishman. Johnny continues to perform all over the world!
