Songs obviously inspired by those recorded in 1950 on Fortune Records while Johnnie White was the leader of his group featuring Skeets McDonald. Today, Skeets McDonald is held in much higher regard than Johnnie White, and well remenbered : Bear Family has issued on him a five CDs boxset and Nick Tosches has devoted.a full chapter in his book : Whom In The End The Tattooed Lady Slew.

M-S label : 1960s-1970s label based in Dearborn, Michigan, and founded by Frank Martin and Jerry Snyder as a sub-label of M.S.K. Productions.

Johnnie White (1925-2013)

Johnnie graduated from Humes High School in Memphis, Tennessee in 1946, after serving his country in the United States Marine Corps from 1944 to 1946. He was the second most celebrated alumni of Humes; in first was a fellow by the name of Elvis Presley.

During his stint in the 2nd Marine Division, he served with distinction and earned the rank of field music corporal and received a Purple Heart from his experience in the battle of Saipan.

Johnnie became a 32nd Degree Mason in the Scottish Rights while he was living in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. His rapid advancement to that level was matched by only one other person, former senator and vice-president Hubert H. Humphrey.

Their stint on WNAX included several radio programs. Johnnie and his group "Rhythm Riders", later to be known as the "Sons of the West" and then finally as "The Johnnie White Show" did two shows that were on Monday through Friday. Their morning show was at 5:30 to 6:00am called "Good Morning Neighbor" and the other was "Sons of the West" that aired from 3:05 to 3:30pm.

When Saturday nights came around, Johnnie White was one of the stars on the "Missouri Valley Barn Dance" that was heard over WNAX from 8:30 to 9:30pm.

And if that wasn't enough, they would appear on Sundays from 1:00 to 1:30pm on the "Sunday Get-Together".

The group was a bit pioneering in that they were the first live musical group to play over the then new television station, KVTV, channel 9. The station was began by WNAX and located in Sioux City, Iowa. Their work on KVTV was no less time consuming. The boys worked on two daily, Monday through Friday shows over KVTV. One was on from 4:00 to 4:30pm and the other was 5:30 to 6:00pm.

In addition to KVTV, in the 1950s and 1960s, Johnnie also did shows on KELo, KPLO and KDLO in Sioux Falls.

Record listed at Rockin' Country Style (location unknown) . Although listed as a different artist on the Reserve label (real name Donald Dougherty) this is the same artist. 

 

This is also a Cleveland, Ohio label. Backing Don Hart, guitarist Ray Wix grew up in a musical family that was quite well known in the Cleveland area in the 1950s as The Wix Family.

 

Intriguing is the mention on the A-side of Gale & Gayle, the publisher, not seen on the B-side. This is also the publisher on the "Presley On Her Mind", previous Don Hart record on the Reserve label, but as Gayle & Gale.

 

Intriguing because Gale & Gayle(s) was owned by Jack Gale and Juggy Gayle. The publisher's address was given at 1619 Broadway, New York City (otherwise better known as the Brill Building, which housed music industry offices and studios where some of the most popular American songs were written).

 

Juggy Gayles (1913–2000)  also known as Juggy Gayle, Juggy Gales or George "Juggy" Gales, born Israel Bernstein, was an influential New York-based song plugger and promotion man. While primarily operating out of New York, his promotion work frequently took him to major radio markets, including Cleveland, to push hit records to local DJs.

 

My hypothesis is that Juggy Gayles took advantage of his frequent trips across the USA—undertaken for East Coast promotional work—to pick up a few titles here and there for his publishing company. 

 

And who were J & F ?

I wouldn't want Kenneth Copeland as a neighbor. I know—you might say that’s unlikely to happen; one need only compare our respective bank accounts.

Today, the Betty Ford Clinic, a name synonymous with hope and recovery for countless individuals struggling with addiction, has undergone significant transformations since its establishment. Founded by former First Lady Betty Ford and her friend Leonard Firestone in 1982, the clinic was a pioneering institution in the field of addiction treatment. See https://quicktipstechy.com/what-happened-to-the-betty-ford-clinic/

The Betty Ford Clinic knows how to adapt to the latest fashion trends—yes, sir,  According to an article published in 2014 by USA Today :

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. — The Betty Ford Center is starting a new treatment program in June aimed specifically at the LGBTQ community to help those who have turned to substance abuse to cope with society's reaction to their sexual orientation. 

The list of celebrities staying—temporarily, one hopes—at that famous clinic is readily available online, for instance, see Youtube : Celebrities Who Went To Betty Ford Clinic Rehab

Among these stars, there was Ozzy Osborne who supposedly checked himself into the Betty Ford Clinic by walking in and asking for directions to the bar. No comment.
