Imho his best version:

Spoiler:
Quote:
Johnson was known for his distinctive guitar playing style, which he achieved by not using a plectrum but playing fingerstyle. This enabled him to play rhythm guitar and riffs or solos at the same time creating a highly percussive guitar sound.
It evolved from a failed attempt to copy Mick Green of Johnny Kidd & the Pirates, a guitarist whom Johnson greatly admired.
Quote:
Johnson developed his own image, coupling jerky movements on stage, his so-called "duck walk" (inherited from Chuck Berry),
Quote:
His undergraduate courses included Anglo-Saxon and ancient Icelandic sagas.
Quote:
After returning from Goa, he worked in 1972 as an English teacher.
Quote:
Johnson lived in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex. He married his childhood sweetheart Irene Knight when they were teenagers, and the couple had two sons, Matthew and Simon. Johnson was widowed in 2004
That's quite a story .
