Chanteur US né Donald Eugene Lytle, le 31 Mai 1938 à Greenfield (Ohio). Johnny Paycheck a débuté au milieu des années cinquante comme bassiste dans l'orchestre de Porter Wagoner. Il prend alors le pseudonyme de Donny Young et enregistre en 1960 des Rockabillies pour Decca. En 1966, il prend le nom de Johnny Paycheck et se lance dans la Country Music. vocaliste convaincant, il chante ses propres compositions d'une belle voix mélancolique et assurée. Johnny, souffrant d'asthme et d'emphysème est mort à Nashville le 18 Février 2003, à 64 ans, laissant une épouse, Sharon, et un fils.
The first time that many people ever heard of Johnny Paycheck was in 1977, when his "Take This Job and Shove It" inspired one-man wildcat strikes all over America. The next time was in 1985, when he was arrested for shooting a man at a bar in Hillsboro, OH. That Paycheck is remembered for a fairly amusical novelty song and a violent crime (for which he spent two years in prison) is a shame
