"Boogaloo Down Broadway" was only the first of the Fantastic Johnny C's chart records, to be followed in short order by "Got What You Need" and "Hitch It To the Horse." A South Carolina native who made his way to Philadelphia, Johnny Corley's fateful meeting with producer and songwriter Jesse James resulted in five singles and a well-received album. Their singles included such hard-to-find recordings as "Cool Broadway" and "Some Kind of Wonderful." Years later and on his own, using prominent Philadelphia music creators involved with the rise of the Philly Sound, Johnny C made the classic "Waitin' for the Rain" and "Don't Depend on Me" as well the rare "I'm a Man" and "Just Say the Word." As this ablum shows, the Phil-LA of Soul career of the Fantastic Johnny C traces the growth of Philadelphia soul from an original dance beat to the work of MFSB and the flowering of the Philadelphia Sound.
