Description Respectable cover version of the "Peanuts" Wilson recording. Johnny Devlin, born John Lockett Devlin (11 May 1938), was an influential early New Zealand rock musician, sometimes called "New Zealands answer to Elvis Presley". His cover of Lloyd Prices Lawdy Miss Clawdy in 1958 went number one in New Zealand, with sales of more than 100000, launching a long-term career. He spent much of his time in Australia from 1959 - touring in support of the Everly Brothers in that year, and often appearing on Australian television shows such as "Bandstand" and "Six OClock Rock'. In 1964 he toured Australia as a support act for The Beatles. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
