Sonny King - For Losers Only
Review by Stefan Hamacher
For Losers Only by Sonny King is a soulful and emotional album that captures the essence of heartbreak, longing, and despair. The album features King's powerful vocals, backed by a range of instruments, including saxophone, trumpet, and piano.
The songs on the album are a mix of original compositions and covers of classic soul and R&B tracks. Each song tells a story of love lost, unrequited love, or the pain of being alone. King's voice is raw and authentic, conveying the emotions of the lyrics with intensity and depth.
One standout track is "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue," a Bob Dylan cover that King infuses with his own style and soul. The song is hauntingly beautiful, with King's voice soaring over a melancholy piano melody.

This couldn't have aired on TV back in the 60's ?
He is my family's great uncle. Our name is Schiavone. Singers run in our family. My father-in-law, Joseph Schiavone, also know as Sonny King, sang Ave Maria at my wedding.
sonny king is my step grandpa, he was married to peggy king. he was my dads step dad, because after my first grandpa bill clark died, peggy married sonny. i loved him so much when i was little, i remember going to redbox and seeing a movie with his name in it, and chosing that as the movie to watch, just because it said sonny in it lol
I so loved Sonny he was so good and kind to me. He would sing to me at benefits for Help them Walk Again.. How blessed to know you.. I still adore you .. my friend
The Bootlegger, Las Vegas 2002...Thank you, Sonny, for giving us just a little bit of Old Vegas.
