BRENDA LEE - JOHNNY ONE TIME

Johnny One Time written by A.L. Owens / Dallas Frazier - # 41 on April 12, 1969
"Johnny One Time" was Brenda Lee's first country hit in over a decade and the beginning of her commercial "second wind" on the country charts that reached gale force in the mid-'70s. Mike Berniker's production makes the song sound little different from the other straight pop ballads Lee recorded during this period, but "Johnny One Time" had been a minor hit for Willie Nelson a few months earlier, so that made it country enough to cross over.
