Johnny Carroll (born John Lewis Carrell; October 23, 1937 – January 13, 1995[1]) was an American rockabilly musician.
Born John Lewis Carrell in Cleburne, Texas, Carrell's last name was printed incorrectly as Carroll in his first recording with Decca Records and he thereafter used that spelling of his name professionally.
He released several singles, none of which saw significant success, although they are now critically acclaimed.
[3] His records were eclipsed by the success of other rockabilly and early rock & roll musicians such as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash.
He died of liver failure on January 13, 1995, and is buried in his hometown of Godley, Texas.
