These somewhat forgotten songs from 1963 are still quite well-aged classics today, and I think they deserve more love.

Sonny Curtis, a Buddy Holly bandmate and writer of such classics as 'I Fought the Law,' 'Walk Right Back' and the 'Mary Tyler Moore' theme, has died.

Born during the Great Depression to cotton farmers outside of Meadow, Texas, Curtis was a childhood friend of Buddy Holly’s.

Fifty-six years ago today, Johnny Cash was at the top of the country chart with a song originally recorded behind prison walls.
