Jack Hodgins is joined by the legendary Australian singer-songwriter Kevin Johnson on this edition of Vinyl Vibes.
Kevin Johnson’s first big hit came in 1971 with his self-penned song “Bonnie Please Don’t Go”. It would reach No. 12 in Melbourne, No. 2 in Sydney, and No. 15 on the Go-Set National Top 60. However following this success he would not release music again for another two years. It was this two year hiatus that inspired him to write the song that would become his biggest hit, “Rock and Roll I Gave You all the Best Years of My Life”.
In 1973 the song would go to number four on the national charts and is now an Australian musical icon.
