Hallo,
etwas Text .....
Die Keynotes wurden 1948 gegründet und waren die Gesangsgruppe der BBC-Radiosendung „Take It From Here“. Johnny Johnston (*1919, + 1998) leitete die Gruppe mit Alan Dean, Irene King, Terry Devon, Pearl Carr, Cliff Adams und Denny Vaughan (alle ursprünglichen Mitglieder, die später gingen).

Die fünf regulären Mitglieder waren Jimmy Johnston, Jean Campbell, Harry (Miff) King, Eddie Lester und Frank Holmes. Oft als Begleitgruppe für andere Künstler aufgenommen. Die Männer, ohne Jean, sangen als The Johnston Brothers, während Jean Campbell (* 1926, + 2003) als Solosänger mehrere Platten aufnahm, mit Benny Lee und mit Bill Fannings Band arbeitete.

Johnny Johnston komponierte später viele TV-Werbejingles.
