Stagger Lee

Johnnie Johnson, celebrated as one of the finest blues and boogie-woogie pianists, had a notable connection to the song "Stagger Lee." In a performance with Butch Wax & The Hollywoods, he concluded the show with renditions of "Stagger Lee" and "Kansas City," two of his favorite pieces.

This performance holds particular significance as it occurred just five days before Johnson's passing on April 13, 2005, at the age of 80. His rendition of "Stagger Lee" during this final performance serves as a testament to his enduring passion for blues and boogie-woogie music.
