Johnny Rivers tocó todos los géneros musicales que estuvieron de moda en la segunda mitad de los sesenta, sin especializarse en ninguno. Sus orígenes estaban en el folk, pero acabó recalando en un rock de tipo medio, sin demasiada fuerza, pero con gran efectividad, ya que supo captar lo mejor de cada uno de los estilos por los que había pasado.
Su verdadero nombre es John Ramistella y nació en 1942 en Nueva York. Ya en 1956, con tan solo 14 años, grababa en el grupo "The Spades".

You mean nobody remembers this song?
The Snake (Johnny Rivers?????)
(Chords the way I remembered)
Dm On her way to work one morning, down the path along the lake A7Dm A tender hearted woman found a poor half frozen snake Dm She Clutched him to her bosom your so beautiful she cried A7Dm And if I hadn't came along You might have well had died
Dm chorus Take me in ole tender women Take me in for heaven sake A7Dm Take me in ole tendered woman ssssssssighed the Snake
Actually I believe the song was kinda dirty... You see she takes the snake into her home and Oh more words "She Laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk" Well, one day she comes home to find that the snake had completely recovered and was packed and ready to leave. So naturally she said something about him leaving to which he says
"Shut-up silly woman said that reptile with a grin" "You knew my bite was posionous before you took me in"
