Bristol and singing partner Jackey Beavers recorded two singles in 1959 for Anna Records, a label owned by Gwen Gordy (Berry Gordy's sister) and Billy Davis and four 45s for Gwen Gordy and Harvey Fuqua's Tri-Phi label, none of which was a success beyond the Midwestern United States.
Recorded in the early 1960s for Harvey Fuqua's Tri-Phi label in Detroit, Michigan as "Johnny & Jackey". When Tri-Phi was absorbed by Motown in the mid-1960s, Bristol became Fuqua's songwriting and production partner, working on material for Motown artists such as Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell ("If I Could Build My Whole World Around You"), Edwin Starr ("Twenty-Five Miles"), David Ruffin ("My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me"), and others. On his own, Bristol produced hits such as "Someday We'll Be Together" for Diana Ross and the Supremes and "I Don't Want to Do Wrong" and "Daddy Could Swear, I Declare" for Gladys Knight and the Pips.
When Motown left Detroit for Los Angeles in 1972, Bristol moved over to MGM Records, where he resumed his career as a recording artist. He released several successful R&B hits, among them "You and I" (1974), and "Leave My World" (1975), as well as the top ten pop hit "Hang In There Baby" (1974). Bristol continued his career a a solo artist and an independent producer into the early 1990s. Bristol's last releases were a 12" single in 1991 for Whichway Records, "Come to Me", and an album, Life & Love, released for the Japanese market in 1993. The latter included Earth, Wind & Fire's "That's The Way I Feel About You" as a duet with his daughter, Shanna J. Bristol. The album received a US release three years later under the title Come To Me.
He died at the age of 65 in his home in Michigan in 2004.

U.S. Army kid here
So was 1st in S. Korea Summer 1987 -- Dad was Base Commander = All Non-Military Tasks Manager at Seoul Yongsan
Marching through Kimpo Airport (now romanized Gimpo) were pairs of soldiers with assault rifles & a chain down one pants leg
my memory says the left
Chunk Chunk Chunk
You stayed 0UT 0F Their Way
Their eyes were focused to the horizon; they would have marched over your knocked-down body

I visited London with my family and showed respect towards the guards at the Tower of London.
One of them gave me a quick smile. I took it as a silent thank you.
These soldiers deserve respect, not tourist torment.
@steffenrosmus9177
Well the border line between tourist and terrorist is thin, very thin. Exsp. with American tourists and all others under age 30. A special breed are those 2 hassidic jews.

I'm a Veteran. I took a picture with the guards. I asked the guard for permission first; got a slight Nod and took the picture. These Guards are serious and will react accordingly.
@moncorp1
I was there back pre 9/11. A friend and I stood next to one and took our pics with him. He was actually very cool and whispered (jokingly) to stand on the other side of him. He said that was his good side. We laughed and complied. Never thought about getting in his personal space or touching him.
