RIP Sonny Curtis

Just wanted to say a few words about one of my role models, namely, Sonny Curtis who passed away last Friday. Sonny and I toured together, doing everything from small clubs to stadiums, during the late 80s and early 90s. In the same period, he produced an album with me called, ‘Through my door’. The recordings had some of the top rock musicians working on it, people who I would have no idea how to contact nowadays. Moreover, Sonny and his lovely wife, Louise opened their home to me on numerous occasions, allowed me to use their cars, and also introduced me to their friends on a private level. I had frequent memorable meals with among others, Don Everly, Scotty Moore, Jerry Allison et al. It goes on and on. I couldn't understand how a songwriter and musician of Sonny's calibre would do so much for me. In my mind he will always be a gentleman, modest, extremely talented, and I'm saddened by his passing. He lives on through his music.

Thanks for everything, Sonny.

Stan Urban.
