Carr was born in Exmouth, Devon, and Johnson was born in Surbiton, Surrey. They were both successful solo singers before their marriage in 1955. Carr's mother, who had worked on the variety stage, taught her to sing and dance. She worked in a C.B. Cochran show, and later joined the Three in Harmony singing group, which appeared in the revue Best Bib And Tucker starring Tommy Trinder at the London Palladium in November, 1942. During 1944, she toured with Phil Green and his Basin Street Orchestra, and then she became a singer with various RAF Bands led by Leslie Douglas in 1945. By the late 1940s, she was singing with Cyril Stapleton and his Orchestra as they toured the UK's dance halls. Carr became the lead singer of a vocal quartet, The Keynotes, in 1949, who recorded popular songs such as 1951's "There's a Harvest Moon Tonight". The Keynotes were regulars on the BBC radio show Take It from Here in 1949, whilst in 1950, Carr was a fixture on Breakfast with (Bernard) Braden, broadcast at 8:15 a.m. on the BBC Home Service. She moved with Bernard Braden to his programme Bedtime with Braden (9:30 p.m.) in September 1950. She was given her own BBC radio series, In the Blue of the Evening, commencing on 22 March 1951.

Johnson left school at 14 and initially worked in an office. Four years later, he obtained a first professional booking, as a drummer and assistant steward on the P&O liner SS Corfu. He made his first broadcast in 1939 for Radio Ceylon, which provoked a fellow musician to tell him: "You are a very good singer but a bloody awful drummer". During World War II, Johnson served in the merchant navy, working on the Queen Mary ship as a butcher on the transatlantic run. After the war, he was part of the resident band at the Locarno dance hall in Streatham, south London, and he also broadcast as a singer with the bandleader Jack Payne. In 1948, he was taken on as chief announcer for Radio Luxembourg and spent two years with them, presenting and compiling a range of shows, from request programmes to the first radio hit parade, compiled from British sales of sheet music. He was offered a recording contract by Columbia Records, and returned to London to begin a successful recording career. Johnson's first record was "Beloved, Be Faithful", a sheet music chart no. 1 hit. In total, he cut 60 sides for the Columbia label as a solo artist, including covers of hits including "Tennessee Waltz" and "I'll Always Love You". He was also a DJ on BBC Radio 2 as the first presenter of the popular programme All Time Greats. Read even more about Pearl Carr at Wikipedia
