About the Artist
Johnny Maddox is one of the leading ragtime piano players of all time. He was America's number one jukebox artist in 1955 when he recorded the first all-piano record in history, "The Crazy Otto Medley," which spent 14 weeks at the top of the charts, and became the first ragtime record to sell over 1,000,000 copies, eventually selling more than 2,000,000. Johnny was the first artist on Dot Records, and his instant success helped build the label into one of the nation's most successful in the 50's. During his tenure with Dot, he racked up nine gold singles and total record sales of over 11,000,000. Johnny even has his own star on Hollywood Boulevard.
