legend Mac Curtis was born in Fort Worth, TX, on January 16, 1939. He
grew up with his grandparents and started playing the guitar in 1951 at
the age of 12. A neighboring farmer taught him how to use it, and soon
he was entering local talent contests. After winning 15 dollars in a
contest, he realized that he not only got the price of the guitar back
but also made five extra dollars. He then knew he could make a living
off his talents, and after moving to Weatherford, TX, 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. The student council intervened and the band began to play
around for money. In 1955, they signed a contract with King Records, and
in 1956 recorded their first single, "If I Had Me a Woman." Successive
singles caught the attention of New York DJ Alan Freed, who booked Mac
and his band on his 1956 Christmas show, giving them an exposure they
had never experienced before. Curtis moved back to Weatherford by 1957
to finish high school. He became a radio DJ in his spare time, until he
joined the military at the end of the year. He became a DJ in Seoul,
Korea, and started a country band that would play for the troops. Curtis
returned from duty in 1960 to see a very different music scene waiting
for him. He decided to become a full-time DJ, working around the south
and occasionally releasing albums. By 1971, he was learning about the
popularity of rockabilly in Europe at the time. He started recording
songs with Ray Campi, who shared his passion for country and rockabilly.
The new Rollin Rock label started in Europe, sparking a rockabilly
revival that included albums by both Campi and Curtis. This success
allowed the artists to form a new, successful career overseas where
their brand of music was more appreciated. Curtis continued to work this
scene through the '80s and '90s, enlisted record companies to
re-release his older singles, and managed to become a member of the
Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
