North Carolina-born Sammy Johns earned national recognition when his recording of “Chevy Van” parked at No. 5 on the Hot 100 in 1975, but he followed that by writing his way into the country market.
40 at 40: Twitty’s “Desperado Love” established a chart milestone.
With “Desperado Love,” co-written by Michael, Johns transformed a negative life period into a win. He was about to lose his house, started drinking to numb his depression, then decided to see if there was a song in all of his misery.
He felt desperation, brainstormed that into desperado and took off from there.
