Johnny Tillotson

Johnny Tillotson (Jacksonville, 20 aprile 1938) è un cantante statunitense.

Biografia

Debuttò nel 1958 con la canzone Dreamy Eyes.

Due anni dopo ottenne il suo maggiore successo di vendita con il singolo Poetry in Motion, che raggiunse la vetta delle classifiche britanniche ed il secondo posto nella Billboard Hot 100 degli USA.

Vinse due Grammy Award, nel 1962 per il pezzo It Keeps Right On a-Hurtin' e tre anni dopo per la Migliore performance vocale dell'anno nella cover di Heartaches by the Number, incisa per la prima volta nel 1959 da Guy Mitchell.

Sempre nel 1965 interpretò al Festival di Sanremo, in abbinamento con Franco Tozzi, il brano Non a caso il destino (Ci ha fatto incontrare), che non si qualificò per la serata finale.

Nel 1963 apparve nel film Just for Fun.
