New Life, Little Johnny Christian (1983) John Christian grew up in Cleveland, Mississippi singing gospel in local church choirs. He was 15 in 1951 when he left for Chicago and joined The Highway Q.C.s, a post-WWII group with an ever-changing lineup that launched the careers of many gospel and soul singers. Tire of touring, Christian sang and played bass guitar in bar bands around the Chicago area, eventually forming his own R&B group, The Chicago Players, in 1968. [More at the link at top.]
