One
of the most distinctive instrumental groups of the '50s and '60s,
Johnny & the Hurricanes produced the Top Ten hit "Red River Rock"
and scored several other instrumental hits that mixed rock & roll
with traditional melodies. Originally known as the Orbits, the group
formed in Toledo, OH, in 1958 and was led by saxophonist Johnny Paris;
other members included organist Paul Tesluk, guitarist Dave Yorko,
bassist Lionel "Butch" Mattice, and drummer Tony Kaye. After a stint
recording with rockabilly singer Mack Vickery, the group traveled to
Detroit, hoping to become a backing band for up-and-coming singers.
However, a pair of music promoters, Harry Balk and Irving Michanik,
signed them as a group on their own, and they recorded their first
single, "Crossfire," for the Twirl label in 1959. "Crossfire" went to
number 23 and the group moved to the Warwick imprint for "Red River
Rock," a rock & roll instrumental of the standard "Red River Valley"
that peaked at number five. The Hurricanes responded to their success
with more of the same, delivering "Reveille Rock," "Rockin' Goose,"
"Revival," and "Beatnik Fly" over the next year, touring extensively all
the while. Eventually the pace — and lack of further hit singles —
caught up with the group, and Johnny & the Hurricanes disbanded in
1965. Paris moved to Hamburg, started his own label, Atila, and in 1970
formed a new Hurricanes lineup that toured until November 2005, two
weeks before Paris took ill and was hospitalized. He died on May 1,
2006, due to pneumonia and septic blood after a splenectomy.

Uno
de los grupos instrumentales más característicos de los años 50 y 60,
Johnny & the Hurricanes produjeron el éxito del Top Ten "Red River
Rock" y consiguieron varios otros éxitos instrumentales que mezclaban el
rock & roll con melodías tradicionales. Originalmente conocido como
The Orbits, el grupo se formó en Toledo, OH, en 1958 y estaba liderado
por el saxofonista Johnny Paris; otros miembros eran el organista Paul
Tesluk, el guitarrista Dave Yorko, el bajista Lionel "Butch" Mattice y
el baterista Tony Kaye. Después de grabar con el cantante de rockabilly
Mack Vickery, el grupo viajó a Detroit con la esperanza de convertirse
en una banda de acompañamiento para cantantes prometedores. Sin embargo,
un par de promotores musicales, Harry Balk e Irving Michanik, los
contrataron como grupo por su cuenta, y grabaron su primer sencillo,
"Crossfire", para el sello Twirl en 1959. "Crossfire" llegó al número 23
y el grupo se trasladó al sello Warwick para grabar "Red River Rock",
un instrumental de rock & roll del estándar "Red River Valley" que
alcanzó el número cinco. Los Hurricanes respondieron a su éxito con más
de lo mismo, presentando "Reveille Rock", "Rockin' Goose", "Revival" y
"Beatnik Fly" a lo largo del año siguiente, realizando numerosas giras.
Al final, el ritmo -y la falta de nuevos singles de éxito- acabó con el
grupo, y Johnny & the Hurricanes se disolvió en 1965. Paris se
trasladó a Hamburgo, creó su propio sello, Atila, y en 1970 formó una
nueva formación de los Hurricanes que estuvo de gira hasta noviembre de
2005, dos semanas antes de que Paris enfermara y fuera hospitalizado.
Murió el 1 de mayo de 2006, a causa de una neumonía y una septicemia
tras una esplenectomía.
