Johnny Deacon is a minor character in the Jem animated series. He is the lead singer and guitarist for the band that bears his own name. He was one of the guest music celebrities invited to perform at the "Jem Jam".

He was voiced by Townsend Coleman.

History

Johnny Deacon was one of the music artists invited to perform at the "Jem Jam", a music festival Starlight Music organized for charity. While the preparations for the concert were getting ready, he, among the rest of the other guest celebrities, stayed at Starlight Mansion for a few days, accompanied by his drummer and good sidekick, Randy James (who Ba Nee thought was her father).

"The King of Rock and Roll", as Jem introduced him to the public in the Jem Jam reception, is a very polite and positive man, always wearing a smile on his face. However, if the occasion demands it, he'll not be afraid of getting into a fight to get rid of any troublemakers. He's also very brave and will even go to the extreme of putting himself in danger to help anyone who needs it.

Besides playing in his own band, he also knows how to pilot a helicopter and is a bit learned in the way audio systems work.

During the Jem Jam episodes, he develops an instant attraction toward Jem and behaves specially sweet when she's around, trying a few times to find a moment to be alone with her.
