Biography

Foda Eddie Johns (born 1951) is a Liberian singer-songwriter in the disco, funk, soul, rock and soft rock genres. Johns did not find mainstream success during his career and became homeless upon suffering a stroke hindering his ability to make music. The French electronic duo Daft Punk used a sample of Johns's 1979 disco song "More Spell on You" on their 2000 song "One More Time". Johns has never received royalties for the sample, as the publishing company that owns the rights could not trace him. The song is estimated to generate royalties "in the high six-to-seven-figure range" based on streams alone.
