Jimmy & Johnny

Duo Country et Rockabilly US, Jimmy & Johnny comprenaient: Jimmy Lee & Johnny Mathis. En 1954, ils obtiennent un contrat avec le label Chess sous le nom de Jimmy and Johnny. Malgré un hit, le duo se séparera rapidement et, après une tentative de duo de Jimmy Lee avec Wayne Walker, le contrat ne sera pas renouvellé. En 1955, Jimmy Lee décide de continuer à tourner sous le nom de Jimmy and Johnny. Pour ce faire, et pendant presque deux ans, son frère Lynn deviendra Johnny. Ils enregistreront pour Decca grâce à Webb Pierce et accompagneront durant une année Faron Young en tournées. Après le départ de Lynn, le duo original se reformera pour quelques sessions pour Decca, D, Vin et Republic Records. Depuis Johnny Mathis a continué en solo chez United Artists Records.
