Boston Drummer’s Son discovers his dad’s unreleased music

If you’ve ever questioned the power of social media, meet Zach Montana. Montana, the son of drummer William “Curly” Smith, used the platform to help his father’s unreleased song from the ’70s go viral in February. Nine months later, the catchy tune is making the rounds again. “My dad has had a career that he’s really proud of, and this is just like the cherry on top,“ Montana told TODAY Parents on Nov. 8. “He thought he was done, and then this happened.“ “People just really love this song,“ Montana added. Montana, a 20-year-old musician, unearthed the disco-inspired tune titled “Surrender to Me,” when he was driving Smith’s truck in January and it was in the CD player. “I’m listening and I’m thinking, ‘Whoa, this is really good,’” Montana told TODAY in March. “Then the vocals come on and I hear a very familiar voice — and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, that’s my dad.”
