RAPPIN’ WITH THE WRITERS:
JOHNNY ELGIN
Johnny Elgin is a native of Victoria, Texas, who came to Nashville in 1962. Like so many, Johnny had to
take "other" work here, until he could break in to the music business. Although he had ambitions as an artist
and songwriter, his first Nashville job was with WKDA
Radio. It just so happened that Johnny made an excel-
lent music contact there. Jack Stapp was the station manager at that time, but he was also president and
owner of a publishing company called Tree Publishing.
“I was also with Jim Denny’s artist bureau, and got a recording contract on Roulette Records," relates
I
Johnny. "At that time, Roulette had Jimmy Bowen, Jimmy Rodgers and Buddy Knox on the label, too. I
toured as an artist with all the superstars of the day. But after a few years, tired of the road. So began to

"I have always free-lanced as a writer. used to pitch songs, for a publisher, to Jim Reeves. was amazed
I I
to find out one day, when he had turned down all the company stuff, he liked one of my songs, ‘Lonely
Music’. Jim gave me my first significant cut when he recorded that song."
Johnny Elgin quickly had other "significant" cuts by such artists as Narvel Felts, John Wesley Ryles, Carl
Perkins, Benny Martin, Urel Albert, John Rex Reeves, Norman Wade and many more.
"Always the most important thing in the studio is the song." Johnny emphasized. "A song must be dif-
CREDITS ferent, in a simple way, and relate to the emotions of the listeners. It’s the song that gives any artist a hit.
