It’ll Never Happen Again

Johnny Rivers with a quintessential Tim Hardin song. The difference in the two versions is this: Rivers’ version is heartbreaking; Hardin’s brilliant take, on the other hand, makes you want to slit your wrists. It’s just too hard to make it through…so, here’s Johnny Rivers.

Secret Agent Man: Johnny Rivers

 

The coolest theme song for the coolest television spy show, Secret Agent aka Danger Man, starring the coolest television spy, Patrick McGoohan, sung by the coolest singer, Johnny Rivers.

The Poor Side Of Town

Because what would a New Year be without Dick Clark?

Surprisingly to me, this great song was the only record of Johnny Rivers (he of “Secret Agent Man” and “Memphis” fame) to reach #1 in the United States.
