The French electronic duo Daft Punk used a sample of Johns's 1979 disco song "More Spell on You" on their 2000 song "One More Time". Johns has never received royalties for the sample, as the publishing company that owns the rights could not trace him. Johns is estimated to be owed a sum "in the high six-to-seven-figure range" based on streams alone.
