Donnie Wayne "Don" Johnson (born December 15, 1949) is an American actor, producer, director, singer, and songwriter. He is best known for his role as James "Sonny" Crockett in the 1980s television series Miami Vice, and as the lead role in the 1990s cop series Nash Bridges. Johnson is a Golden Globe-winning actor for his role in Miami Vice and a winner of the American Power Boat Association Offshore World Cup, and has received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Johnson was born on December 15, 1949 in Flat Creek, Missouri. His mother, Nell (née Wilson), was a beautician, and his father, Wayne Fred Johnson, was a farmer. At the time of his birth, they were 19 and 17, respectively. At age six, he moved from Missouri to Wichita, Kansas. A 1967 graduate of South High School, he was involved in the high school's theatre program. As a senior, he played the lead role of Tony in West Side Story. His biography noted that he had previously appeared in "Burnt Cork and Melody" and "The Hullabaloo." He also attended the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas.
Don Johnson (May 19, 1940 – May 3, 2003) was an American ten-pin bowler who spent many years on the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) tour.
Don Johnson, a right-handed bowler, joined the PBA tour in 1964. He captured at least one PBA title every season from 1966–1977, on his way to 26 PBA titles in all. That total places him ninth on the all-time titles list.
Johnson was voted PBA Player of the Year in 1971 and 1972. But perhaps his shining moment came in 1970, when he won the prestigious Firestone Tournament of Champions and nearly achieved perfection in the process. In the televised final, he left a single 10-pin on the final ball for a 299 game. Leaving the 10-pin wasn't as famous as Johnson's reaction to it; he dropped on the floor and left his face down for several seconds before getting up to a thunderous ovation (Johnson's wife Mary Anne was shown in the audience, crying by that point).
Johnson won another major title at the 1972 U.S. Open, and was runner-up in the Tournament of Champions three times.
Donald Stewart Johnson (1930 – May 12, 2012) was a civil servant and sports executive known for his dedication to the sport of hockey. The Atlantic Canada Junior B Hockey Championship has been named the Don Johnson Cup in his honour.
Johnson was born in Halifax and educated at St. Mary's College and St. Mary's University. He began his career with the Bank of Nova Scotia at Middleton, Nova Scotia in 1949. In 1959 he was transferred to St. John's where he became active in community affairs and sports. In 1973 he was appointed assistant deputy minister in Newfoundland's provincial Department of Rehabilitation and Recreation.
Johnson's first involvement in the sport of hockey was as a member of St. Pat's hockey team in 1959. He eventually became the secretary of the St. John's Senior Hockey League and later its president. Johnson then became president of the Newfoundland Amateur Hockey Association and then in 1976 president of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association.
Donald Spore Johnson (December 7, 1911 – April 6, 2000), nicknamed "Pep," was a Major League Baseball second baseman for the Chicago Cubs from 1943 to 1948. A native of Chicago, Illinois, he attended Oregon State University before beginning his professional baseball career.
Johnson's best seasons were during World War II. In 1944, a season in which he had a career-high 71 runs batted in, he was selected for the All-Star Game. In 1945, he was an important part of the last Cubs team to win a pennant, hitting a career-high .302 and scoring 94 runs, tenth in the league. He was also selected for the unofficial “All-Star Game” that was organized by the Associated Press after the official game was canceled.
To date, Johnson is the last Cub to come to bat in a World Series game. He grounded into a force out to end the 1945 World Series defeat to the Detroit Tigers.
Career totals for 511 games include 528 hits, 8 home runs, 175 runs batted in, 219 runs scored, a .273 batting average, and an on-base percentage of .315.
Donald James "Don" Johnson (born September 9, 1968) is a former professional tennis player from the United States who reached the World No. 1 doubles ranking in 2002. Although born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, he was raised and learned the sport of tennis in the Pittsburgh suburb of Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Johnson attended Fairview High School in Erie, Pennsylvania, and won the PIAA State Singles Championship in 1984. During his career, he won the Wimbledon men's doubles title in 2001 (partnering Jared Palmer), and the Wimbledon mixed doubles title in 2000 (partnering Kimberly Po). He also won the doubles title at the Tennis Masters Cup in 2000 (partnering Piet Norval). He won a total of 23 top-level doubles titles.
Prior to turning professional, Johnson played collegiate tennis for the University of North Carolina from 1987–1991. As a youngster, he earned the Sportsmanship Award at the USTA National Junior Championships in 1986.
Donald Roy Johnson (November 12, 1926 – February 10, 2015) was a Major League Baseball pitcher. The 6'3", 200 lb. right-hander was signed by the New York Yankees before the 1944 season, and he played for the Yankees (1947, 1950), St. Louis Browns (1950–1951), Washington Senators (1951–1952), Chicago White Sox (1954), Baltimore Orioles (1955), and San Francisco Giants (1958).
Johnson made his major league debut on April 20, 1947, starting game 2 of a doubleheader against the Philadelphia Athletics at Shibe Park. He was the winning pitcher in the 10-inning, 3-2 Yankee victory, and went on to have a 4-3 record for the 1947 World Series Champions.
Johnson pitched both as a starter and in relief during his long, well-traveled career. His best season statistically was in 1954 with the White Sox. He won 8, lost 7, had a 3.12 earned run average, and finished in the American League Top ten in games pitched, saves, and shutouts.
Career totals include a record of 27-38 in 198 games, 70 games started, 17 complete games, 5 shutouts, 62 games finished, 12 saves, and an ERA of 4.78. He had a rather high WHIP of 1.580 in 631 innings pitched.

I don't care what you say
you can give it away
Your money don't mean much to me.
I've been out on my own
gonna got it alone now
'Cause that's the way it's got to be.
Ev'rybody tells me how I can beat the odds for now.
Well
I've been standing by the fire
but I iust can't feel the heat.
Heartbeat - I'm looking for a heartbeat
Heartbeat - I'm looking for a heartbeat
beating like mine.
Looking at me
it's easy to see
You think you know iust how I feel.
If you do to me wrong and it won't take me long
Before my restless heart will heal.
I'm looking for a love
love like mine
They tell me it's so hard to find
But I can feel it in the rhythm of the heartbeat in the street.
Heartbeat - I'm looking for a heartbeat
Heartbeat - I'm looking for a heartbeat
Beating like mine
beating like mine.
Tell me what you feel now without the heartbeat
Tell me is it real now without the heartbeat?
