	Description:		Question: When does a musician who always has somethng to say, become at a loss for words when describing her own show? Answer: When the subject of that show is a larger than life music legend like Johnnie Johnson. St. Louis anchor Art Holiday (KSDK Channel 5) joins us this week to talk about his role as producer and director of a feature length film "Johnnie Be Good". Learn of the man who is considered the true father of Rock N. Roll. Before there was Chuck Berry there was Johnnie Johnson. Often overlooked and under esteemed, Johnnie was reported to have co authored many songs for which only Berry received credit. Art shares his admiration for the subject of this film who has so much to teach us about the history of music, the unsung heros, and the story of one man who was finally recognized - largely due to the efforts of other music legends like Keith Richards - with an induction into the rock n roll hall of fame. With a cast of Bo Diddly, Eric Clapton, Michael MacDonald and Bonnie Raitt, this movie provides a glimpse at the little known force who influenced a generation of musicians. Join us for this touching story and the passion that made it all possible.
