Curtis Gordon was known as "Mr. Personality" and could be heard over WALA-TV every Monday night at 7:00pm in Mobile, Alabama. Back then, he was on the Mercury record label and was known to be quite a flashy dresser, with a western wardrobe to rival most Hollywood cowboys. He did a west cosast tour they said that was so well received that he could do it again anytime.
