Cliffie Stone
Hey Bill,
I came across a book on songwriting written by Cliffie Stone. I’ve not heard of him but he apparently is a country music guy. Just wondered if you’d heard of him.
Cheers
Mark
Cliffie Stone
It appears that he was/is in the West Coast Country Music
Alumni…
However, a son was in the group Highway 101… I’m attempting to remember the name of the Female Singer, in that trio…
What a Voice she had…
The trio was popular till she decided to leave the business and to become a Homemaker, or something…
Here it is
Paulette Carlson…
and…
Look at the name
in this link…
Harland Howard…
I might say that he (Cliffie Stone) could have been instrumental in Buck Owen’s Career… The Buckaroos was signed to Capital Record’s and made Capital Records a Tonne of Money…
His name doesn’t float to the top of TuneTown’s Music Personalities…
He may be known in some circles of Nashville’s Music Business…
and, he may have been in-and-around the A&R work and in competition with Chet Atkins of RCA, and the like…
Ya know, it’s guys like this that wrote the book on how to build a multi billion dollar Music Industry…
Bill…
Thanks for the reply Bill. I just found that wikipedia article on Cliffie myself. Just serves as a reminder of how many unsung heroes of the music world there are.
Think I’ll grab his book and see what I can learn.
