Make A Left And Then A Right - Johnny & Jonie Mosby

 

Two Dollar Honeymoon Room

Make A Left And Then A Right
Johnny & Jonie Mosby
Produced by Ken Nelson
Capitol Records ST 2903
1968

From the back cover: JOHNNY AND JONIE MOSBY, husband and wife, are presented here in their first album for Capitol. Their first single record for the label was the instant hit, "You Make a Left and Then a Right." Immediately upon its release it appeared on all the nation's major music charts – Billboard, Cash Box, Record World – and it was played on all the top Country-Music radio stations. More than reason enough, then, for this album, based on that hit and to include the many other great songs that have been touched with that Mosby stamp of greatness.

This talented pair – he from Fort Smith, Arkansas; she from Van Nuys, California first met in 1958, when Johnny hired Jonie to sing with his very popular West-Coast orchestra. The arrangement worked out pretty well, for they were married later that year. In the years since, the Mosbys have appeared on many of the local and most of the national TV Country music shows and their names are known world wide. Many earlier hit records have also contributed to their fame... such memorable titles as "I'd Fight the World," "Don't Call Me From a Honky Tonk" and "Keep Those Cards and Letters Coming In." In 1962, the couple received the Cash Box Award in "The Most Promising Vocal Group" category, and they have stayed at the top in popularity polls ever since.

The Mosbys are active directors of the ever- growing Academy of Country and Western Music in Los Angeles, and until recently they owned and operated the popular Ventura, California nightclub, "The Bandar." The press of recording and personal-appearance activity has become so great, however, that they have now sold the club.

Big things in Country music seems to be a way of life for the Mosbys – but there's nothing wrong with that, for there are fans by the thou- sands who wouldn't have it any other way!
