Archive material and source history
Johnny Junior formed in São Paulo around the mid-1960s, with Waldir Simões as their vocalist and guitarist. Their 1965 single 'Guarapari' became a national hit, an upbeat song named for a coastal city in Espírito Santo. The band toured Latin America and Europe later in the decade.
They released albums like 'Onde Está Você?' in 1966 and 'O Som de Johnny Junior' in 1968. Their sound mixed Brazilian rhythms like samba and bossa nova with rock and pop elements. Another track, 'Seja Feliz ou Morra Tentando,' appears among their notable songs.
