When Stacy retired in 1959, Rocky became lead singer for the band, The Four Flames, recording a Columbia Harmony album in New York entitled, "The Big Ten," as "Rocky Curtiss and the Harmony Flames." Since 1958, Rocky has done voice work for radio and television commercials, most recently for Chris Nikel and Nelson Mazda in the Tulsa area. Frisco rejoined the Cale Band in 1994 and toured the United States and Europe that Summer and Fall, with TV broadcasts from France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The Cale band's 1996 tour included a concert on March 29 at Carnegie Hall on a double-bill with Levon and The Band. Rocky can be heard on the J. J.
