Little Willie John, stage name of William Edward John (1937-1968), was an American singer and songwriter of rhythm and blues. Born in Montgomery, Alabama, John began his musical career in the 1950s, quickly becoming a key figure in the R and B scene thanks to his powerful voice and theatrical style. ?? Among his most notable successes are "All Around the World", "Fever" (which was later covered by Peggy Lee) and "Let It Rain". John collaborated with several prominent artists, including Ray Charles and Sam Cooke. His music has influenced generations of musicians and continues to be appreciated for its energy and emotional impact. John died prematurely in 1968 at the age of 31.

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
