“Lucky White was like Roger Miller, he just put together everything that rhymed. He was an absolute genius.” — Patrick G. Morris Guitar Player for Lucky White (1965) About Lucky White (1923–1997) Lucky White was a pioneering Texas-born country artist, songwriter, and radio personality whose music career spanned over two decades. Born in Telephone, Texas, Lucky served in the United States Marines during World War II. After his honorable discharge, he moved to California and quickly became a fixture in the vibrant West Coast country and Western Swing scene of the 1940s and 1950s. He performed and recorded with many legends of the era, including Bob Wills, Cliffie Stone, Leodie Jackson, Les Paul, Hank Williams, Little Jimmy Dickens, and more. Lucky hosted popular radio shows on KPMO (Pomona) and KWKW (Pasadena), where he championed fellow artists and built a loyal following. Notable Accomplishments: • Wrote and recorded the original “Teddy Bear” in 1946, inspired by his first-born son. • Was the first country artist to record a cover of “Sugar Moon” (1947). • Toured with Les Paul & Mary Ford • Released music on Four Star Records with songs published by Acuff-Rose. • Recorded with Gordon Terry in 1953. (Gordon was in Lucky's band) Lucky’s heartfelt songs and warm personality left a lasting mark on traditional country and Western Swing music. His catalog continues to be discovered by new generations of fans and is available for licensing. In the late ’80s–’90s some of Lucky’s 4-Star sides — especially “Yo Yo Heart” and “One of Your Lies” — turned up on on several collector compilations, based in the Netherlands Holland, including a Collector Records / Miller Brothers package that did not credit Lucky White and His Band. American listeners who found those CDs were told it was another group that recorded them. The compositions sit with Sony/ATV/Acuff-Rose; the family licenses through The Harry Fox Agency. The estate’s own transfers are the ones on luckywhitemusic.com and No Music, No Betties, No Lucky.
