Our beloved Freddie Lee Johnson was born on May 9, 1951 in St. Louis, Missouri to Tom Johnson and Cordie Mae Johnson (nee Taylor). He grew to be a loyal, kind and caring person who loved helping people when he could. Freddie loved music and old westerns. As a teen he often recruited his friends for doo wop battles in the neighborhood, he always sang lead and always had to be David Ruffin.
