Thanks for stopping by my page...I'm just here having fun.....and I hope you do too!

Every sound and song you hear on the player (except the demo of "Heaven Called Back") was made by me in my home studio. Rather than using my stage piano's and synths, I used an old Yamaha PSR (toy) keyboard that I bought several years ago in a pawn shop that has an onboard 5 track sequencer. I think the little keyboard has some amazing sounds and I had a lot of fun playing the songs along with the factory rhythms which I modified to my tastes.
The DEMO of my "Heaven Called Back" was produced by Steve Patrick at Holston Valley Music in Bristol, Tennessee and the very talented Andrea Morton is the vocalist. Anyone who likes it has my permission to do it live. (I do with hold the recording rights, etc.)

"I'm trying change my sorry ways… so I can get to the Pearly Gates, If I don't I know the good Lord… will send me to the other place"
(Opening line from a Junior King original Blues song. "Don't Send Me To The Other Place")

I recently received an email from a Vietnam Vet who complimented me on playing " America The Beautiful ".
Thank you Jack and God bless you and everyone that went to Nam and those who have fought in all the other conflicts over the years. I am playing " The Ballad Of The Green Berets " in your honor followed by " America The Beautiful " and others. It's been my honor and pleasure to play for Veterans many times over the years!
And, by request, I also played my version of "Dixie" for my good friend Linn Hart in Canton, Mississippi.

Anyway, on with the show!
My family thinks I'm going through the "change" in my old age...ha, ha!
I've been going through the "change" since Sunday, February 14, 1943 at 8:20 AM! I think Mama dropped me on my big head about 8:30 that day and I ain't been right since...had she known that I'd do some of the things I've done in my life I'm sure she'd have pinched my big head off then and there!
Thank You!
I appreciate all the friends I have met here on MySpace. I also appreciate those of you I have known for a long time via having performed together or having met through mutual friends. Thank you for your friendship and support for so many years.

Special thanks to the beautiful and talented Amy and Francis and the late Niki and Nancy for being the "Dolls" in Junior & The Dolls! No one ever had a better or more loyal group to perform with! They put up with me many times when they probably shouldn't have. I would change in the middle of a set and take off on something we hadn't rehearsed or tell jokes about them. Almost always a 90 minute show would turn into three hours or longer when we'd be asked to play encores and not once did they ever complain. Thank you ladies and I'll never forget you for your love, your unwavering loyalty to me and your professionalism to our wonderful fans!

Music has always been good to Junior King. I’ve enjoyed every note of every song I’ve ever played, sung or written. It has kept me from starving at times; gotten me in trouble a lot of times, but I couldn’t imagine my life without it!
Thank you for visiting Junior King's MySpace!
My Nephew Corey Parkman is a great lyricist and writer so check him out in my "friends" section. He's very talented and loves to write! I know his dad Jim & my sister Sarah, his parents, are very proud of him as is his uncle Junior. He acts better than his uncle too!
