During his very early years Jon Bon Jovi performed with a many different people such as the Atlantic City Expressway which was a ten-piece rhythm and blues band, the Wild Ones, The Rest and The Lechers and John Bongiovi. However, one of Jon"s earliest recording ever was no hardcore rock song but a Christmas Carol in 1980 called "R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas." In the early 80's Jon was trying to get a break into the rock music industry and along with Hugh McDonald, his future band bassist and Dave Sabo, the future Skid Row guitarist, Jon wrote and recorded the number Runaway. At the start, none of the major recording studios would accept his song, so he went to a WAPP-FM DJ and made him listen to Runaway, The DJ right away liked the song and not only played the song but also put it to the WAPP record. The song was an immediate hit and rocked the charts. After the triumph of his first song Jon Bon Jovi signed his first major record deal with Mercury in 1983.
