Santo & Johnny Farina were an American rock and roll instrumental duo of Italian descent from Brooklyn, New York. Inspired by the country music he heard on the radio, Santo adopted the steel guitar as a teen and he began teaching his younger sibling Johnny to play standard electric guitar, and they started performing as a duo. They are best known from their debut single "Sleep Walk", one of the biggest hits of the golden age of rock 'n' roll. After "Sleep Walk" Santo & Johnny soon issued their self-titled debut album. Their second hit-single "Teardrop" was taken from their second album 'Encore'.
