Kurz-Bio:
Die "Neuseeländische Antwort auf Elvis Presley" Johnny Devlin wurde am 11. Mai 1938 in der Kleinstadt Raetihi in der Mitte der neuseeländischen Nordinsel als John Lockett Devlin geboren. Johnny wuchs in einer musikbegeisterten Familie auf und als er zu seinem elften Geburtstage eine Gitarre erhielt, ließ er sie nicht mehr los. Bereits ab 1955 zog er mit Eltern, Brüdern, Cousins etc., die allesamt eine Country-Formation namens River City Ramblers bildeten, durch die Lande, wobei sie bereits auch die damals aktuellen Bill Haley-Titel im Programm hatten. 1956 ließ die Musizierlust der Devlin-Familie immer mehr nach. Lediglich Johnny machte solo weiter, wobei ihm der Titel "Heartbreak Hotel" von Elvis, als er ihn erstmals hörte, besonders motivierte. 1959 verlegte er seinen Arbeitsplatz nach Sydney in Australien, dem Zentrum des Music-Business für diesen ozeanischen Raum.
