John Watson Jr. (February 3, 1935 – May 17, 1996),
known professionally as Johnny "Guitar" Watson,
was an American blues, soul, and funk musician
and singer-songwriter. A flamboyant showman and
electric guitarist in the style of T-Bone Walker,
Watson recorded throughout the 1950s and 1960s
with some success. His creative reinvention in the
1970s with funk overtones, saw Watson have hits
with "Ain't That a Bitch", "I Need It" and "Superman
Lover". His successful recording career spanned
forty years, with his highest chart appearance being
the 1977 song "A Real Mother For Ya".
