His career has spanned the 1960s folk revival, USO tours in Vietnam during the war, the California rock scene, the Pet Rock scene (he wrote the theme song), major label deals, lounge circuits in Cape Cod, Colorado, and the Bay Area, not to mention weddings, corporate events, and nursing home gigs. (Did I mention he dated the Smothers Brothers' sister and skinny-dipped with Juice Newton?)

ohnny Clegg with Savuka & Juluka Live! And More...
Over the years, musician Johnny Clegg has worked hard to merge two worlds  the English-speaking and the African American culture of South Africa  and succeeded in doing so with the formation of the first interracial band - Jaluka. However, the group formed around the time of apartheid, which brought upon unforeseen complications including the banning of their first album by the South African government. Having to deal with so many uncontrollable issues, the group broke up in the mid-80's, and Clegg formed another band with Savuka, combining European pop music with South African melodies.
City Canyons Records, indie music's "new sound in town" is proud to announce the signing of a groundbreaking new group, Finland's Valerian.

Many of my ideas were looked upon as radical, different... even ridiculous by some.
Three Ways to Obtain Mechanical Licenses for Legally Recording/Distributing Cover Versions on CDs by Dale Turner,,
For many musicians, a considerable amount of "play time" is spent learning other people's songs: either for cover band gigs, wedding performances, or merely to study another artist's work. If this sounds like you, as your repertoire has grown, it's highly likely one or more of those songs has sparked something extra-special inside you. Why not immortalize your efforts by recording some of those magical numbers and putting them on a CD? At the very least, one of those "classic" tracks might be the perfect way to punctuate your next disc!
