Best remembered for their ubiquitous 1977 pop hit "Smoke from a Distant Fire," blue-eyed soul duo Sanford & Townsend paved the way for the yacht rock phenomena of today. Johnny Townsend's musical journey is a remarkable tale of perseverance, talent, and timeless appeal. Renowned for his soulful vocals and songwriting expertise, Townsend etched his name in music history through his partnership with Ed Sanford in the Sanford-Townsend Band. Together, the pair crafted hits that became staples of the "soundtrack to our lives," resonating deeply with baby boomers, yacht rock aficionados, and classic hit enthusiasts. Hailing from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, John Townsend was immersed in music from an early age. Influenced by the Southern rock and soul traditions of his youth, Townsend developed a unique sound that blended heartfelt emotion with a sophisticated, polished delivery. His early career saw him perform with local bands, honing his craft and building a reputation as a gifted vocalist and keyboardist. The defining chapter of John's career began when he joined forces with Ed. Their synergy as songwriters and performers culminated in the 1977 hit Smoke from a Distant Fire. This track, with its infectious melody, smooth harmonies, and emotionally charged lyrics, captured the essence of yacht rock—a genre known for its breezy sophistication and impeccable musicianship. The song rocketed up the Billboard charts, earning a coveted spot in the Top 10 and cementing the duo's place in the annals of classic rock history. While Smoke from a Distant Fire became their signature song, the Sanford-Townsend Band's catalogue offered much more. Their music embodied the spirit of an era defined by artistic ambition and a commitment to craft, seamlessly blending elements of rock, soul, and pop. For baby boomers who grew up with radio as their constant companion, John's music provided a soundtrack to pivotal moments in their lives. In the years following their breakout success, John continued to pursue his passion for music, working with a variety of artists and exploring new creative directions. He collaborated with notable names in the industry, contributing his signature sound to projects that spanned genres. His dedication to authenticity and emotional resonance ensured his place as a beloved figure in the yacht rock and classic hits community. In recent years, Sanford and Townsend have revisited their musical partnership. They have been working on remastering some of their early recordings, including original versions of songs from their albums before forming the Sanford-Townsend Band, as well as unreleased tracks from their time together. This initiative aims to reintroduce their music to both longtime fans and new audiences. Additionally, Ed Sanford has been involved in live performances. He and Townsend have been collaborating on new projects, delighting audiences with their enduring musical chemistry. Their ongoing work reflects a commitment to their craft and a desire to keep their musical legacy alive. Today, both Ed Sanford and Johnny Townsend's contributions to music are celebrated by fans who cherish the golden era of smooth rock. Their work serves as a bridge between the past and present, reminding listeners of a time when melody, harmony, and storytelling reigned supreme. For baby boomers, yacht rock lovers, and all those who value the enduring power of great music, John and Ed's legacy is a beacon of nostalgia and excellence. Whether revisiting the chart-topping Smoke from a Distant Fire or diving into the broader body of work he helped create, Johnny Townsend certainly remains a vital part of the musical tapestry that continues to inspire and uplift generations. John joins us today in conversation to share his unique story from one hit wonder to rock legend.

The Sanford-Townsend band's JOHNNY TOWNSEND - the long journey from one hit wonder to rock legend

In 1977, the SANFORD-TOWNSEND band's “Smoke from a Distant Fire” raced up the charts, peaking at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100. They seemed to come from out of nowhere, and just as suddenly, they seemed to disappear; the band was never again to have a Top 40 hit. But as my interview with co-founder JOHNNY TOWNSEND reveals, they had paid their dues for more than a decade before they reached that pinnacle of success in '77, and both Townsend and Sanford have been far from inactive since. For anyone who doesn't know, The Sanford Townsend Band was an American rock group that formed in 1976. The band consisted of singer and keyboardist Ed Sanford and singer and guitarist John Townsend, who were both previously members of the band, The Heartsfield. The band's sound was characterised by a mix of rock, pop, and soul influences, and their music often featured complex harmonies and lush instrumentation. In addition to "Smoke from a Distant Fire," the band had several other minor hits. Despite their early success, the Sanford Townsend Band disbanded in 1980 after the release of their second album, "Nail Me to the Wall." Following the breakup, both Ed Sanford and John Townsend continued to pursue music careers as solo artists and songwriters. In the years since their breakup, the Sanford Townsend Band has gained a reputation as a cult favourite among fans of 1970s rock music. Their music has been featured in films and television shows, and their legacy continues to influence modern rock acts. Today Ed Sanford and Johnny Townsend are back making music together. Johnny says during our interview that it's been an interesting journey, to say the least, but one he wouldn't swap for anything. He talks about his experiences growing up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and then moving to Los Angeles to further his career. He regales us with stories around how that career defining song 'Smoke on the Water' came to be and he tells us what life is like for him today. I hope you'll enjoy the episode.

NOTE: Today's discussion involves some gruesome descriptions of what happened on the night of Sunday, June 24, 1973. You may wish to listen to this one when your little ones are not around. On June 24, 1973 an arsonist set fire to a gay bar in New Orleans called the Up Stairs Lounge. Within moments fire engulfed the bar, and ultimately claimed the lives of 32 people. It was the largest massacre of LGBTQ individuals in the United States until the Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2016. My guests today are Robert “Bobby” Fieseler, and Clayton Delery. Bobby authored a new book about the fire entitled, Tinderbox, the Untold Story of the Up Stairs Lounge Fire and the Rise of Gay Liberation. Clayton Delery is a native of Metairie, LA just outside of New Orleans. Clayton's 2015 book about the fire, The Upstairs Lounge Arson: 32 Deaths in a Gay Bar, was recognized by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities with a Book of the Year Award. Join us as we talk about the fire, about life in New Orleans during that time, and about the impact of the fire on New Orleans and its citizens in the 45 years since. Resources Tinderbox, the Untold Story of the Up Stairs Lounge Fire and the Rise of Gay Liberation, by Robert Fieseler, is available on Amazon and at local bookstores, including Garden District Book Shop and Octavia Books. You can also follow Robert Fieseler on Twitter (@wordbobby). The Upstairs Lounge Arson: 32 Deaths in a Gay Bar, by Clayton Delery is available on Amazon. Johnny Townsend's book Let the Faggots Burn was the first book published about the Up Stairs Lounge fire. His book is a great source of information about the men (and women) who lost their lives in this tragedy. You can purchase Johnny's book at Amazon. Robert Camina produced an award-winning and moving documentary about the fire called Upstairs Inferno. You can purchase it directly from his website.  Thank You I first learned about the Up Stairs Lounge massacre many years ago. Its been on my list of topics for the Beyond Bourbon Street podcast since we launched in December 2016, but I hesitated to tackle it. I wanted to make sure I had the interview skills to do it justice. I also wanted to find the right person or people to talk to. Thanks to my friend James Tardie I connected with Robert, and through Robert, with Clayton. Words cannot express how appreciative I am to Robert Fieseler and to Clayton Delery for opening up to me. While I understand they have books to promote, it is obvious how personal the story is to both of them. Our discussion was difficult, but I hope it conveys to you the listener at least a sense of the tragedy itself, as well as the times. I am also hopeful by sharing this story, it helps us all be mindful of the work we still have to do in today's world to ensure everyone is treated as equals. I also owe a word of thanks to John Price and the Old 77 Hotel. When John heard about this topic, he quickly offered a space for us to record. The Old 77 actively supports all members of our community, and I am honored to have them as a partner.   Sponsor: The Old 77 Hotel and Chandlery When you're ready to make your plans to visit New Orleans, you'll need a place to stay. The Old 77 is ideally situated in the Warehouse District, just three blocks from the French Quarter.
