Memories Of Redd

When Sharon and I started work on this tribute site for my father, we had no idea what type of response we would get. Well, we sure know now!  Wow!  We had no idea how many lives he had touched. The response we have gotten from his fans, friends, and fellow musicians, has been overwhelming to say the least and very moving emotionally.

We have decided to devote an entire section to posting some of the responses we have received. This way all who visit this site will be sure to see the love and support all of you continue to give Redd even after his passing. I am devoted to keeping his legacy alive, and with your support we will do just that! We can't thank you enough for all your fun-filled and classic stories! Thanks for the memories...

Thank You,
Billy Stewart

"I used to watch Redd on Pee Wee King's TV show from Cleveland and he had so much spirit and intensity as a singer. He was great on ballads but also on the hot, upbeat things. I saw someone mention the King records he made. Not only was Redd magic on those, so was the steel guitar player Bobby Koefer. It sure would be great to see those old sounds available. As I hear it even some of the young people like Western Swing music. Thank God for Redd!"

"The first record I ever bought was "Slow Poke." I still have it. I wish Redd and Pee Wee recorded "You Belong to Me" for RCA Victor back when the Golden West Cowboys were at their peak. I remember them singing that song on Pee Wee's Saturday night show over WBBM-TV in Chicago. Jo Stafford did a nice job, but she was no Redd Stewart."

"My father was a master at keeping his professional life and his private life separate. Growing up I just knew him as dad. Being a very humble man, he never talked about his achievements. They were not as important to him as family, and God. Building this site has made me realize that his greatest achievement was the many lives he has touched with his music!  What a beautiful gift he has given us!"

Eddie Sauter  
"Redd Stewart was one of the great vocalists of his time with Pee Wee and the Cowboys and on those fantastic solo records he made for King in the early 1950s with Pee Wee and the guys backing him. Now that we have this great site up it would be so great to get Redd's solo stuff available on CD. Thanks again for the great website! Let's hope this is just the start."
