    Sonny Craver is originally from Columbus, Ohio where he started singing at 17.

    He began his career with the Stomp Gordon Band and also played with the Earl Hood Orchestra, the Raleigh Randolph Band and with "Rahsaan" Roland Kirk in the Sonny Craver Five.

    Craver left Columbus in 1954 and joined the King Kolax Band in Chicago but travelled backwards and forwards over the years.

    Sonny later became one of the voices of the popular Mills Brothers style group called the Harmonaires.

    Sonny owned the club Regal and managed the Carolyn Club in Columbus in an area called "Bronzeville".

    He also founded the Stanson Recording Company at 517 East Long Street with Eddie Colston and Stan Freidberg.

    After traveling for many years Sonny decided to settle in Chicago where Count Basie first heard him sing and later invited him to take the vocal spot once held by Joe Williams and O.C. Smith.

    While on tour with Basie, Craver decided to settle in New York where he studied at the Actors Workshop.

    While at the Monterey Jazz Festival, Craver decided to stay in California and has made it his home.

    After Craver relocated to California in the 1960’s, he reactivated the label, releasing sides by himself, Apple & Three Oranges, King Solomon, and Paul Humphrey among others.

    Sonny's theatre and singing experiences are numerous.

    He has appeared in "Norman Is That You", "All God's Chillun", "Ransom", "The Tender Trap", "Guys & Dolls" and "Member of the Wedding" just to name a few.

    He sang in the movie "White Men Can't Jump with the Venice Beach Boys including Bill Henderson and Jon Hendricks singing acappella gospel during the film's opening credits.

    He has done numerous commercials including the McDonalds commercial where he makes love to a hamburger.

    Sonny has been a member of KSLG Playhouse Theatre Players for many years as a singer and actor.

    One of his most memorable roles was playing Louis Armstrong and Rochester with Chuck Niles as Jack Benny.
