Bobbye "Doll" Johnson  

Bobbie Johnson of Atlanta, Georgia, was known as Bobbye "Doll" Johnson broke into the music business singing background for various artists but by 1999 she had recorded enough songs for a full album, entitled "Let The Door Knob Hit Ya", which featured the notable "Saving My Love For You".

In 2007 Johnson recorded for Lee Parker's Brimstone for the album "Rocking This Boat". The title track proved to be a minor hit for her and the reissued "Saving My Love" followed suit.

In 2011 she signed with CDS Records who released "All The Woman You'll Ever Need". Both "Baby Daddy" and "Mississippi Highway" received airplay in the South. Sadly, Johnson died of cancer in 2014 not long before another collection, "True To You", was issued.

***1/2 Bobbye lost her courageous battle with cancer in 2014 so this was her last full album released during her life (an album entitled "True To You" came out in 2015 containing only 4 unreleased songs and 6 repeats). Johnson was a sweetheart as a person and her persona and singing voice pretty much matched her personality. She wasn't another sexed up, tough talkin', self-proclaimed "bold bitch" like Sweet Angel but somewhat more subtle if not softer. "All The Woman" was mostly produced by Frank McKinney with a few tracks handle by Carl Marshall. The floater "Baby Daddy" became the key song with the memorable refrain: "Thought I was going to marry/Turned out to be another baby daddy/Mow he won't be comin' 'round here no more/Guess I better 411 child support". Another single extracted was "Cheaters Never Win (But They Enjoy The Game A Whole Lot More)" and "Mississippi Hideaway" would make for a shaggable Beach tune.
