Born Benjamin Franklin Peay in Camden, South Carolina in 1931, Brook Benton found steady work making hundreds of demo records for such established singers as Nat King Cole, Clyde McPhatter, and Roy Hamilton. He co-wrote a number of songs with Clyde Otis. Together they pioneered a lush, violin-studded variation on the standard R&B sound, which beautifully showcased Benton's intimate vocals ! He first recorded under his own name for the Okeh label in 1953. Benton signed as a solo act with Epic and had his first minor hit with A Million Miles From Nowhere on Vik. He went on to Mercury along with Clyde Otis and arranger Belford Hendricks, and it was at Mercury that he would meet with his greatest success. He died in New York City in 1988 of complications from spinal meningitis. Anyway, When Brook Benton sang, you listened.

Arch Hall Jr. is a teen actor and musician who appeared in a number of 1960s films, all of which were produced by his father, Arch Hall Sr. Most of Arch Hall Jr.'s films feature his musical abilities, particularly a teenage tenor and swamp blues inflected, guitar riffs. Hall was also the frontman for the rock n' roll combo Arch Hall Jr. and the Archers. The band played Sunset Strip clubs such as the Whisky a Go Go and Pandora's Box. For the most part the films produced by the Halls and their associates, which at one point included cult director Ray Dennis Steckler, are considered B-movies (which means, religion to me). My fav of course is The Sadist (1963), where Hall portrayed a psychopathic killer based in part on teenage murderer Charles Starkweather. YEAH !

Rocka-Rocka-Rockabilly legend Mac Curtis was born in Fort Worth, TX, on January 16, 1939. In 1954, he decided to play music with his schoolmates Jim Galbraith and Ken Galbraith. They were enamored with artists like Big Joe Turner, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard, wanting to create a similar sound in their group. The band began playing for their peers, even causing a minor controversy when they were pulled from a stage for lewd and suggestive gyrations ! In 1955, they signed a contract with King Records, and in 1956 recorded their first single, "If I Had Me a Woman." ! Here’s a complete biography for your own culture ^_^ As always, buy his Lp’s, you won’t regret it. Mac Curtis: * If I Had Me A Woman * * Goose Bumps * * Half Hearted Love * See you next week my dears. And don't forget to kill the rabbit.

Frank Frost was my dad ! Ok, sorry, I wish he was. But man, he was born in in Auvergne, Arkansas. Which is, for you french readers, a good joke. Well well well. Frost & his ally Sam Carr were one of the first acts Sam Philips picked up for his newly formed company. Hey Boss Man!, issued on Sun's Phillips International subsidiary as by Frank Frost and the Nighthawks, was a wonderful collection of uncompromising Southern blues. Pelvis Presley's ex-guitarist Scotty Moore produced Frost's next sessions in Nashville in 1966 for Jewel Records. Chicago blues fan Michael Frank sought out Frost in 1975. He located Frost playing inside Johnson's Clarksdale tavern, the Black Fox. Mesmerized by their sound, Frost soon formed his own record label, Earwig, to capture their raw, charismatic brand of blues. In the years following, Frost waxed his own Earwig album (1988's Midnight Prowler) and appeared on Atlantic's 1992 Deep Blues soundtrack -- an acclaimed film that reinfo...
