No Soy De To- Ralphi Pagan

Johnnie & Joe were an American R&B vocal duo from The Bronx, who were best known for their 1957 hit "Over the Mountain, Across the Sea."

Johnnie Louise Richardson (June 29, 1935, Montgomery, Alabama - October 25, 1988, New York City)[1] and Joe Rivers (b. 1937, Charleston, South Carolina[2]) began singing together in 1957 and released several singles on Chess Records,[3] which were leased from J & S Records, to whom the duo were under contract. Richardson was the daughter of the J&S label owner, Zelma "Zell" Sanders, who had been a touring member of The Hearts.[2]

Three of the songs hit the U.S. singles charts. "Over the Mountain, Across the Sea", written by Rex Garvin, went to #3 on the R&B chart and #8 on the Billboard Hot 100,[4] and "I'll Be Spinning", went Top 10 R&B, both in 1957.[3][5] "My Baby's Gone", a #15 R&B hit, was their last,[3] although "Over the Mountain, Across the Sea" returned to the pop charts in 1960, peaking at #89 the second time around.[4]

Richardson and Rivers resumed their professional partnership later in the 1960s. During the 1970s and 80s they performed in oldies concerts, and made a critically acclaimed album, Kingdom of Love, in 1982.[6] Johnnie Richardson died of complications from a stroke in 1988.

Over The Mountain, Across The Sea pt 1
written by - Rex Garvin
performed by - Johnnie and Joe

Over the mountain, Across the sea
There's a girl, she's waiting for me

Cross over the river, beyond every cloud
She's passed the wind that's blowing loud
Over the mountain, a girl waits for me
Tell all the sands and every blade of grass
Please tell the wind to let my love pass
Over the mountain, a girl waits for me

Tell the moon up in the sky
Tell the birds that fly by
That over and over and over the mountain
My love waits for me

Into each dark and starry night
Oh, what a mystery that's sealed so tight

Over the mountain, a girl waits for me
