Paul Johnson(3)

:(This page is about the surf guitarist. For the American DJ of the same name, see Paul Johnson. For the soul singer of the same name, see Paul Johnson(2)).
Paul Johnson was one of the founding fathers of surf guitar, writing the 1961 track "Mr. Moto" for his band the Bel Airs. He floated around the genre for years after their breakup, eventually helping the revival of the genre with his work with the Packards in the '80s. The '90s found him joining the Surfaris for touring purposes, as well as helping to form the Duo-Tones with "Pipeline" author Gil Orr. Throughout it all, he also released several solo releases that were a hit in the surf rock underground.
==Links to Peel==
Andy Kershaw played a track from Paul Johnson, whilst sitting in for Peel during late October and early November 1986. However, there doesn't seem to be any evidence of Peel himself playing any of the surf guitarist's material.
