A BIT OF HISTORY ON PERRY JOHNSON FROM THE CHICAGO AREA:
Perry Johnson had started his career as a music producer in the middle-‘60s working with local Chicago area rock bands including 1966 releases on the Royal Blue label from the Paniks, Lou Capri, and the Wild. Johnson also notches songwriting credits on singles by Lowell Shyette and the Edges of Wisdom, both of whom released singles on the Redd Robb label in 1966. And you can find his credits on other releases from Holocaust, the Corsican Brothers and Salant.
He and his brother Rick owned Dharma Records. Around 1978 they bought Triad Radio (at the time broadcasting on brokered time on WXFM/Chicago 105.9) and Triad Magazine. They eventually sold the radio end to one of Triad's original founders.
Perry Johnson pre-Dharma work:
Perry Johnson discography (as writer, arranger or producer). Most of the songs show Paul Mysyk as co-author.
Both the Royal Blue and Redd Robb labels were distributed by International Recording Company.
