Summary

This episode of the British music TV documentary show "South Bank show" (Parts 1-3) features the biography of 1950's pop sensation Johnnie Ray, whose perfomance and music had greatly influenced rock artists such as Elvis Presley.

Cry.
Take the A train.
Wheel of fortune.
Let the good times roll.
Paths of paradise.
Little white cloud that cried.
Teardops from my eyes.
Tweedle Dee.
She didn't say nothin' at all.
Tell the lady goodbye.
Whiskey and gin.
I'm gonna walk with my Lord.
Walkin' my baby back home.
All of me.
I'll never fall in love again.
Let's walk that-a-way.
My heart cries for you.
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone.
Such a night.
Alexander's ragtime band.
After you get what you want.
If you believe.
Sinner am I.
Look homeward angel.
Mystery train.
Just walkin' in the rain.
Yes, tonight Josephine.
I'm gonna move to the outskirts of town.
Day by day.
Bury me on the lone prairie.
Am I blue?
Suspicious minds.
Somebody stole my gal.
Oh the rain.
