Wesley Erwin "Mac" Curtis, Jr. (16 de enero de 1939 – 16 de septiembre de 2013) fue un músico de rockabilly. Nació en Fort Worth, Texas. Aprendió a tocar guitarra a los 12, ingresando a un concurso de talentos. Se mudó a Weatherford en 1954, donde formó una banda con dos compañeros de clase, Jim y Ken Galbraith. Tocaban en los eventos de la escuela, pero durante uno de ellos su espectáculo fur interrumpido por realizar movimientos con contenido sexual sobre el escenario. El grupo siguió tocando localmente, y en 1955 les ofrecieron un trato con King Records, que lanzó su primer sencillo "If I Had Me a Woman".
Más tarde Alan Freed escuchó al grupo y los invitó a tocar en su especial de radio de Navidad en 1956. Curtis volvió a Weatherford para completar su educación y se convirtió en disc jockey en Seúl, Corea luego de unirse a la milicia. Al retornar en 1960, siguió trabajando como DJ en el sur de Estados Unidos y lanzó otros álbumes. El de 1968, The Sunshine Man, alcanzó la posición 35 en las listas de música country en el país. Como en la década de 1970 el rockabilly se hizo popular, comenzó a grabar con Ray Campi y firmó para el sello de Ronnie Weiser, Rollin' Rock Records. Su carrera despegó en los 1980s y 1990s. Más tarde fue elegido para Salón de la Fama del Rockabilly.
Murió el 16 de septiembre de 2013 debido a las heridas provocadas en un accidente de tránsito.
