With more than 30 million records sold, 9 Top 10 hits, and unforgettable classics like Secret Agent Man, Poor Side of Town, and Summer Rain, he dominated the charts and helped define the sound of the 1960s. But as music evolved and new legends emerged, Johnny Rivers slowly disappeared from the spotlight. What happened to one of rock & roll's most influential performers? Why has an artist who launched the careers of The 5th Dimension and Jimmy Webb, and helped make the Whisky a Go Go legendary, never been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? In this documentary, we explore Johnny Rivers' extraordinary rise from Louisiana guitarist to rock superstar, his record-breaking success, his influence on American music, the challenges that led to his decline, and the remarkable legacy he left behind.
