  • Sonny Curtis 1937-2025

    Sourcing from bestclassicbands.com at the moment,
    the Wikipedes report the death of Sonny Curtis
    (I have to wonder if this was really a nickname but
    it seems to have been his one known name),born
    May 9th 1937,on September 19th 2025.

    Not too long ago,this group reported the death
    of Randy Fuller citing his and his previously
    deceased brother Bobby's performance of "I Fought
    the Law and the Law Won"...Curtis was the one
    who originally wrote it,and performed it with the
    Crickets shortly after Buddy Holly's death.

    He also wrote Mary Tyler Moore Show theme
    "Love is All Around",and is the singer one
    hears on the show.

    At 88,he fought the death and the death won...
    I don't think he'll "Walk Right Back" (another
    hit he wrote).

    -=-=-
    The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
    at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

    I'll recycle my "He didn't make it after all!" quip from when MTM died.
