Curley
Griffin est décédé vers 1964/5.Born Malcolm Howard Griffin on June 6th 1918,
Curley was partially-sighted and attended a school for the blind. In later life,
whilst working as a DJ for radio WDXI in Jackson, Tennessee he met
Carl Perkins and allowed him to use the station's equipment to record
some demo tapes. According to
Perkins, Curley came up with
the idea for both "Dixie Fried" and "Boppin' The Blues" and is credited as a co-writer
on both singles. Griffin self-produced a number of singles for Atomic Records in
the mid-late 1950s but experienced little commercial success. According to
Perkins, Curley Griffin died
circa 1964/5.
