Last night I got home from work late, as is normal, wanting nothing more than a meal and something mindless to watch on TV I began chanel hopping. There I cam across a programme called The Legacy of Sun Records. (Yesterday I noted the sale of Sun records by Sam Phillips,see here)
It was quite a good programme featuring interviews and performances of the second string acts signed to Sun by Phillips. Among those was the wonderful Sonny Burgess, now in his 70s he was interviewed and caught in performance supported byJerry Smith on keyboards and the amazing Ace Cannon on sax. He has more energy while singing on stage than many men half his age, and his voice the same power, but even more authority with the passage of time.
The upshot was an unexpected very late night hunting through CDs and records………..
