Johnny Pompadour:
The Man, The Myth, The Legend...
He was born in the wagon of a traveling show.
His Mama used to dance for the money they’d throw. His Papa was a man he would never
get to meet. And at the tender age of fourteen, Johnny hit the street.
Like a moth
to a flame the young entertainer was drawn to the bright lights of Las Vegas. Dynamic
presence and vocal talent made him a natural in the world of show business.
