Рей, Джонни цитаты

Джонни Рей — популярный в 1950-е годы американский певец. Его самый большой успех — песня «Cry», возглавившая в 1951 году главный чарт «Билборда». Причём сингл был двусторонним, и «Cry» вместе с записанной на оборотной стороне песней «Little White Cloud That Cried» занимали тогда в чарте, соответственно, первое и второе места. Этот сингл, сделавший тогда из застенчивого неуклюжего паренька звезду национального масштаба, разошёлся в более чем 2 миллионах экземпляров.

Песня «Cry» в исполнении Джонни Рея входит в составленный Залом славы рок-н-ролла список 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll. Wikipedia

“I just felt like God picked me up in his arms [and said], 'Johnnie Ray, I love you', and kissed me. I'm very humble and grateful for this elevation to the big time. But we all have to come down, and it won't leave me with a complex if I do. I know this thing might go over like a lead balloon, but I can always go back to that movie extra deal.”

Interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIsdCfmkEho with Dennis Hunt in Las Vegas, c. 1982

“I was walking down by the river. I lay down under a tree. I was broke. I felt pretty low. Then I looked up at the sky—all blue except for one little, white, fleecy cloud. The words came to me for the song—quicker than it's taking me to tell it to you. I got up—and I had new hope. That was the turning point in my life.”
