Sonny May Just Make it After All

A few weeks ago I mentioned the incredible fact that 6, SIX! major players on The Mary Tyler Moore Show died in 2021, which is beyond absurd even if they were all 150 years old.

But one survivor so far has been Sonny Curtis, who wrote and performed the unbelievably great & iconic opening theme song. Of course, Curtis' history in rock runs deeper than most, having joined Buddy Holly's Crickets in 1958 and taking over his lead vocal duties after Holly's shocking death in February of 1959.

Curtis also wrote a scrappy little rock number called I Fought the Law.

Hang in there, Sonny!!!!!!!!
