Come join us in Playa del Carmen at the Sandos Caracol Beach Resort & Spa with Rowdy Yates the host of Country Gold a syndicated radio show that airs on Saturday nights in over 100 cities nationwide. Rowdy will play host to two of Country’s finest artists, Johnny Lee and Janie Fricke.

In 1968, Johnny Lee began a 10-year working relationship with Mickey Gilley, both on the road and at Gilley's nightclub in Pasadena, Texas. Lee charted his first single in 1975 with "Sometimes." Success followed with "Red Sails in the Sunset" and "Country Party," the latter adding new lyrics to Rick Nelson's pop hit, "Garden Party. His 1980 single, "Lookin' for Love," spent three weeks at the top of the Billboard country singles chart. He followed up "Lookin' for Love" with "One in a Million," which spent two weeks at No. 1. He scored three more No. 1 singles -- "Bet Your Heart on Me," "The Yellow Rose and "You Could've Heard a Heart Break." His string of Top 10 hits continued with "Pickin' Up Strangers," "Prisoner of Hope," "Be There for Me Baby," "Cherokee Fiddle," "Sounds Like Love," "Hey Bartender" and "Rollin' Lonely." Johnny is still writing, still performing and still Lookin’ for Love. Johnny is keeping busy as he can. Writing a new cookbook called “Chef Boy “R” Lee”, loaded with funny stories and good recipes, and working hard on the release of his own food lines. Johnny is a work in progress!

The music industry took notice of Janie as her voice was heard on duets with Merle Haggard, Moe Bandy and others, leading her to her first major recording contract. Fricke soon began to dominate the country charts with smash hits such as Don't Worry ' Bout Me Baby, He's a Heartache, You're Heart's Not In It, It Ain’t Easy being Easy, Down To My Last Broken Heart, Do Me With Love and I’ll Need Someone to Hold Me When I Cry. It was only a matter of time before she started winning awards. Included among them are: Country Music Association's Female Vocalist of the Year, Music City News Female Vocalist of the Year, "Billboard" Top Country Female Vocalist, "Cash Bed' Top Country Female Vocalist, Academy of Country Music Female Vocalist of the Year, and she was chosen to the Country Music Hall of Fame Walkway of Stars. She has released 23 albums and 36 hit singles. When she relaxes she spends time with her husband Jeff and her animals. She attends church near her home, remembering from childhood the importance of her confirmation. Thankful for her blessings, Janie feels these values have helped her become the woman she is today. From an Indiana farm girl to an internationally acclaimed recording artist, she has never lost the pure heart and love of music that launched her career. And today, Janie Fricke sings on.

So, be sure to make your reservation now so that you won’t miss Rowdy’s party in Playa with Johnny & Janie.
