Johnnie & Jack were an American country music duo, composed of Johnnie Wright (1914–2011) and Jack Anglin (1916–1963). The duo became members of the Grand Ole Opry in the 1940s. Between 1951 and 1962, the duo released several singles on the RCA Victor Records label, including their version of "Goodnite, Sweetheart, Goodnite" which peaked at No. 4 on the Best Seller charts, and the No. 1 "(Oh Baby Mine) I Get So Lonely".
Following Anglin's death in a car crash in 1963, Wright became a solo artist, topping the country charts in 1965 with "Hello Vietnam".
Johnnie & Jack were posthumously inducted into the Volunteer State Music Hall of Fame in 2025.
