The Commandos
Biography
Studio group assembled by Juggy Murray, featuring King Curtis (tenor sax), Herman Foster (piano), Al Casey (guitar), Jimmy Lewis (piano), and Belton Evans (drums). Curtis was signing with Atlantic and so couldn't be credited (apart from the writing) on the group's two singles on the Sue Records subsidiary Symbol label, Chicken Scratch and Pony Express. Casey was Curtis's official band through the early 1960's, A footnote in the career of King Curtis and, curiously enough, thanks to the sale of the Sue catalog to Liberty/UA, now owned by EMI along with much of Curtis's pre-Atlantic catalog. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
