Stan Hitchcock has Passed
Just saw the bad news on FB. Not a steel player, but a real part of country music for decades.

He was a Great Guy and singer. Stan loved the Steel Guitar and used it quite a bit. Curly Chalker and others played for him. My long time friend Mike McGee worked in Stan's Show Bands. Stan Hitchcock was from a small town in Southwest Missouri named Pleasant Hope. His version of the song "The Shadow of Your Smile" which featured Curly Chalker was exceptional. RIP Stan Hitchcock

I too watched Stan's TV Show out of Ft.Smith, Ark, Chanel 5, KWHN. A very good show at that time. Stan was a Great Vocalist.
And his song "The Shadow of Your Smile" was a great song. RIP Stan, J.R. Rose

I'm truly sorry to hear of Stan's passing. Though he's been pretty much "off the radar" for decades, his powerful and emotional voice will live on in his recordings. I had the pleasure many years ago of my band backing him on a couple of shows, and he was a warm and gracious personality.
Rest easy, Stan.
Rest easy, Stan.
