Johnny Legend

Actor, director, rockabilly singer, trash film historian, wrestling manager and promoter -- modern-day Renaissance man Johnny Legend has truly done it all and then some in a remarkably rich, eclectic, and impressive career that has spanned over four decades and shows no signs of stopping in the immediate near future. He was born Martin Margulies on October 3, 1949 in San Fernando, California. His father Bernard Margulies was a doctor and his mother Betty was a nurse. Legend is the older brother of Lynne Margulies. Johnny was initially a country music fan who practiced Hank Williams songs in his bedroom and watched Ernest Tubb on television. He attended Sylmar High School in San Fernando, California. Legend formed the folk-rock group the Seeds of Time and first started establishing his singularly outrageous rock'n'roll wildman persona in 1966. In 1970 Johnny began playing 50s rock'n'roll songs with the band Blue Midnight. He recorded numerous songs for Ronny Weiser's Rollin' Rock Record
