“Joanne” was a Top 40 single for Michael Nesmith. The track is taken from his solo album, Magnetic South, which was released via RCA Records in 1970. It marked the first album released by Nesmith and The First National Band following his departure from The Monkees. The song peaked at #21 in the United States on the Billboard Top 100. It was the most successful solo U.S. chart hit for any member of The Monkees.
