Michael "Mike" Curb (born December 24, 1944, Savannah, Georgia, United States) is an American musician, record company executive, and NASCAR car owner. A Republican, he served as the 42nd Lieutenant Governor of California from 1979 to 1983 under Democratic Governor Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown, Jr. He was acting governor of California while Brown spent time outside of California pursuing presidential ambitions. He is also the founder of Curb Records as well as an inductee of the West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.westcoaststockcarhalloffame.com/hall-of-fame )〕 He is of Mexican heritage.
==Early music career==
As a freshman at San Fernando Valley State College (now California State University at Northridge), while working in the practice rooms of the Department of Music, Curb wrote the song "You Meet the Nicest People on a Honda (Go Little Honda)" which the company selected for its ad campaign. Dropping out of college in 1963 at the age of 19, Curb formed his first record company, Sidewalk Records (a predecessor of Curb Records) and helped launch the careers of West Coast rock and roll artists such as the Stone Poneys (featuring Linda Ronstadt), The Arrows (featuring Davie Allan) and the Electric Flag (featuring Mike Bloomfield and Buddy Miles).
Curb scored the music for the short film, ''Skaterdater'' (1965), as well as ''The Wild Angels'' (1966), ''Thunder Alley'' (1967), ''Devil's Angels'' (1967), ''The Born Losers'' (1967) - the first of the ''Billy Jack'' films, ''Maryjane'' (1968), ''The Wild Racers'' (1968), ''The Savage Seven'' (1968), ''The Big Bounce'' (1969), ''The Sidehackers'' (1969) and ''Black Water Gold'' (1970). In 1969, he merged his company with MGM and became President of MGM Records and Verve Records. Curb composed or supervised over 50 film scores and wrote over 400 songs.
Curb organized his own musical group, The Mike Curb Congregation in the 1960s; they had a Top 40 pop hit in early 1971 with the title cut from their album ''Burning Bridges'' (written and composed by Lalo Schifrin and Mike Curb) which was used as the theme of Clint Eastwood's film ''Kelly's Heroes''. They had an adult contemporary chart hit in 1970 with the song "Sweet Gingerbread Man" from the film ''The Magic Garden of Stanley Sweetheart''〔(Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart Archive 1970-7-18 ), song-database.com, retrieved Apr. 25, 2015.〕 and had a minor hit in 1973 with the Sherman Brothers composition "It's A Small Small World".〔(Label of MGM single "It's A Small Small World" ), image at 45cat.com, retrieved January 21, 2015〕 The group was featured on Sammy Davis, Jr.'s number-one ''Billboard'' Hot 100 hit of 1972, "The Candy Man" (the Aubrey Woods version was featured in the film ''Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory'') and in 1978, the Mike Curb Congregation was featured in the musical ''The Magic of Lassie'', starring James Stewart. They recorded "Together, a New Beginning" in 1980, the theme song for Ronald Reagan's successful presidential bid that year. The Mike Curb Congregation were weekly regulars on Glen Campbell's CBS' National Network Television Show.
In 1969, Curb signed Christian rock pioneer Larry Norman to Capitol Records.〔"Larry (David) Norman", ''Encyclopedia of Evangelicalism'', ed. Randall Herbert Balmer (Westminster John Knox Press, 2002):411.〕
In the 1970s, Curb wrote for and produced Roy Orbison, the Osmond Family, Lou Rawls, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Solomon Burke; he also signed artists such as the Sylvers, Eric Burdon, War, Richie Havens, the Five Man Electrical Band, Gloria Gaynor, Johnny Bristol, Exile and The Four Seasons. Curb ran a short-lived country music subsidiary label for Motown called Hitsville Records. Curb composed "It Was a Good Time" for Liza Minnelli's Emmy Award winning ''Liza with a Z''. He also received BMI awards for composing "Burning Bridges" for Clint Eastwood's ''Kelly's Heroes'', and for composing "All for the Love of Sunshine", which was Hank Williams, Jr.'s first #1 Record.
