John B#1 never existed. John B sails in the American folksong "Sloop John B". It was first recorded 1927. Best known version of the song is recorded on the Beach Boys LP 'Pet Sounds' from 1966. - John B2 is the first of the John B's dynasty... - 29.03.2008 by Sebastien Schmidt
- According to Matti Muoniovaara's source, "John B1" never existed. As he wrote in a previous note : "But where is John B the first ? I have come to conclusion that there was no first John B."
