Memphis Edward "Eddie" Curtis, Jr. is an American songwriter. He is credited as a co-writer along with Steve Miller and Ahmet Ertegun for "The Joker" by the Steve Miller Band, which became a number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of January 12, 1974.[1] "The Joker" used a line from his song, "Lovey Dovey", which was recorded by numerous artists, beginning with the R&B group The Clovers in 1954. Elements of "The Joker" were used for Shaggy's international number one hit "Angel" (2001), which Curtis also received a co-writing credit for.
Curtis also wrote Don Cherry's 1956 hit "Wild Cherry" and Connie Francis' 1959 hit "You're Gonna Miss Me."

The song also appears on the album We've Got a Live One Here by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, recorded in 1976, re-issued in 1996. "Hard head" was covered by Henri Salvador as "Qu'ça saute" on Monsieur Henri (1994), and by Robert Palmer, with guitarist Johnny Winter, on Ridin' high (1992).
