First song I heard of his was Great Heart in the Jock of the Bushveld movie in the 80s, on my grandfathers colour TV, those "wooden" finish ones, with the silver control panel on the one side.
A Tedelex? Loved that movie with Jonathan Rands in

He had the guts to bring South Africans together, when it was dangerous to do so. He did it through talent and music, and nothing about him changed even when it was no longer dangerous to desire a break down in barriers.

He did it all through music, and as displayed in this thread he succeeded. We need more Johnnys.

RIP.

Whatever happened to MG and the likes of eVoid?
Loved that song "Taxi Man"!

Sorry for hijacking Johnny.

Mango Groove still play gigs.

Lucien and Erik moved to the UK more than twenty years ago. No idea if they’re still making music ‘tho... Used to go watch them at the Chelsea Underground in Hillbrow back in the day.

Clair must be in her 50s now. Saw Karen Zoid at the Cure concert and she is also getting on a bit
