Johnny Wright spent much of his career working with Jack Anglin in the popular
duo Johnnie & Jack, and was also the
husband of Kitty Wells. He was born in
Mount Juliet, Tennessee, and first performed with Anglin in 1936. They teamed up
full-time in the 1940s and, except for the time Anglin spent overseas during the
war, remained together for over two decades. In 1952, the duo and
Wells were invited to join the Grand
Ole Opry, where they remained for 15 years. Following Anglin's death in
1963, Wright continued performing and making records. In 1964, he and his
Tennessee Mountain Boys had a Top 25 hit with "Walkin', Talkin', Cryin', Barely
Beatin' Broken Heart." The following year, he had success with "Hello Vietnam,"
a number one hit. In 1968, he and Wells
recorded an autobiographical duo, "We'll Stick Together," and continued playing
live shows together through the early '80s, when they left music to run a
souvenir shop. In 1992, the couple and their son Bobby began playing together
again.
