Eddie John

John Eddie (born 1959, Richmond, Virginia) is an American folk rock singer. Eddie moved to New Jersey in the 1970s and became a popular club circuit musician there, occasionally performing with Bruce Springsteen.[1] Eddie signed with Columbia Records and released two albums, in 1986 and 1990; a single, "Jungle Boy", managed to crack the Billboard charts in 1986, peaking at #17 Rock and #52 on the Hot 100.[2] He opened for Bob Seger and The Kinks in the late 1980s[1] but was dropped by the label early in the 1990s. He then signed with Elektra Records and recorded a third album, which was never released after a lengthy legal dispute.[1] Since then Eddie has recorded independently and toured extensively; his career saw a resurgence when he signed with Lost Highway Records for 2003's Who the Hell is John Eddie?.
