On this day in 1963 {June 3rd} 'Lonnie Mack Day' was proclaimed by the mayor of Aurora, Indiana, Lonnie Mack's hometown; and that even Mr. Mack performed at the Moose Lodge Hall...It's a good bet he played his covered version of "Memphis", for just the day before on June 2nd it had entered Billboard's Hot top 100 chart at position #90; six weeks later on July 14th, 1963 it would peak at #5 {for 1 week} and it stayed on the chart for 13 weeks...Was track 5 from his 'The Wham of That Memphis Man' album; and two other tracks from the album made the Top 100, "Wham!" (peaked at #24) and "Baby, What's Wrong" (reached #93)...He had one other Top 100 record, "Honky Tonky '65", it stayed on the chart for 5 weeks, peaking at #78...Mr. Mack, born Lonnie McIntosh, will celebrate his 74rd birthday next month on July 18th {2015}...

Lonnie, We lived on the same street, Franklin St in Cochran (Aurora, IN). I heard you every Sat night at Smiths next door. Your beat is in my bones.

All of you Doors aficionados know this but many many others do not: Lonnie Mack played bass on the studio version of Roadhouse Blues. You can look it up! It's kind of a long story but Wiki has it. Legend was that he played the lead and Morrison yelled,"Do it, Lonnie, do it!" but he really said "Robbie" and Krieger did play it. Lonnie Mackwas out of the business at the time (1969) but that inspired him to get back at it, whichhe did admirably. Huge influence on SRV.

"Sudden Fried Chicken" was when lighting hit the hen house!

Saw him live many times. He was always excellent. saw him with Stan Szelest from Stan and the Ravens in Buffalo, NY many times also. Just great stuff!! Really tight music.

Excellent song, and video! Anybody notice the sign on the second restaurant, 1:09 in the video advertising "Sudden Fried Chicken"? I'm wondering if they meant "Southern Fried Chicken"? It just made me laugh!

This tune changed the landscape in SoCal in 1963. A lot of bands were trying to play "surfer stomp" music at that time and this was the boilermaker tune for several at that time. Our high school dances would be dominated by Memphis-type tunes and then came Dick Dale's band! L Mack's music laid the foundation for all of that! Ah those white boy blues memories!
