Biography

Malone was born in Pete's Corner, Alabama, United States. He sang in his local church, and learned to play the harmonica, guitar and piano.[4] After moving to California, he found more regular employment in the music industry, and had localized hit singles with "It's a Shame", "One Step Away", and "Danger Zone". Malone met the record producer, Ray Shanklin, and was subsequently employed as a record company executive at Fantasy Records (and its subsidiary Galaxy) in the late 1960s and early 1970s. At Galaxy, Malone worked alongside Little Johnny Taylor, Big Mama Thornton, Sonny Rhodes and Creedence Clearwater Revival. With the singer and guitarist Troyce Key, he bought Eli's Mile High Club in north Oakland, California.[5] In the 1970s, Eli's Mile High acquired a reputation for supporting West Coast blues artists.[4] In 1980s, the duo appeared at the San Francisco Blues Festival.

Malone appeared in conjunction with Key on the albums I've Gotta a New Car (1980, Red Lightnin' Records),[6] and Younger Than Yesterday (1981, Red Lightnin').[7] Malone returned to performing as a solo artist in the 1980s, and continued to record until 2001.[3] He released three solo albums, including Highway 99 (1997).[8]

Malone died of cancer in Hawaii, in February 2004 at the age of 68. He was buried next to his father on March 2, 2004, at Ragland Cemetery in Limestone County, Alabama.[2][3]
