Since a long time ago, I have been collecting vinyls which include songs that were written by H.B.Barnum and Walter Johnson. Some of them are O.C.Smith album of 1982, Louis Dyer 45", Waymond Hall 45", Maurice Davis 45" and John Rowles album of 1980. Of course there are more records either rare or not in which H.B.Barnum and Walter Johnson are composers.

John Rowles was born on 26th March 1947 in Whatakane and raised in Kawerau in the Bay of Plenty. He started to sing at the age of ten years old. At the age of 16 years old, he started to play guitar at a club. John's first release as a solo singer was released in 1966. Later he tried to enter in the British market. The first release in England was released in 1968.
In the early 70s he also toured in various countries such as Germany and Spain and sang in several hotels across the USA. He released many albums and singles in his career. However I will focus in the album "Rhythm of the city" which was released on Paradise Productions in 1980. This album was produced by the great H.B.Barnum.

It was recorded at Barnum Recording Studio, Hollywood, California. Walter Johnson was accociate producer. Apart from Billie Barnum, Sara Kane and Pat Henderson who were backing vocalists, the album doesn't mention the musicians that participated on the album.
H.B.Barnum and Walter Johnson wrote five out of the eight songs of the album. I have chosen three songs entitled "I"ll live without love" , "You and I" and "Beautiful lady".

First of all, I want to thank Walter Johnson for all the kind comments to me. Finally, I dedicate to him the song "Rhythm of the city".
