Tom Johnston
"Savannah Nights"
#34 (January 12, 1980)
In 1977, Tom Johnston left the Doobie Brothers to pursue a solo career of his own. He went on to release his first solo album, 1979's Everything You've Heard Is True. It was this album that spawned a trumpet-filled, upbeat 80s number, "Savannah Nights", that would go on to reach #34 on the Hot 100 in 1980.
Later, in 1982, Doobie Brothers member Patrick Simmons would score his own solo Top 40 hit "So Wrong". In both cases, it would be their only one.
After one more solo album, Still Feels Good (1981), Johnston eventually returned to the Doobies in 1987. And "Savannah Nights" remains his only solo Top 40 hit.
