After a four year battle with cancer, Cory passed on Wednesday November 8, 2017 in Santa Barbara at the same hospital where he was born.<br />
<br />
In his youth growing up in Santa Barbara, Cory excelled in sports as a football quarterback /defensive back, team leader. He also led his baseball team to a Little League World Series as a pitcher.<br />
<br />
As a well-established and beloved musician, condolences came from our local music community, and from musicians who knew Cory from his travels across the country, including the East Coast and Atlanta where he performed and lived for five years.<br />
<br />
After touring extensively with brothers Ernie and Brian, Cory returned to Santa Barbara where he and brother Ernie reached out to serve the local music community as music producers and recording engineers. Their SRS Recording Studio helped many local musicians realize their dream of recording their music. As a record producer, Cory has the distinction of being the first to record local talent Katy Perry. Other clients included Jewel as she was doing her first demo recording at SRS Studios as an unknown artist.<br />
<br />
Cory, along with brothers Ernie and Brian, was a founding member of Santa Barbara musical pioneers, Ernie and The Emperors. With their song “Meet Me At The Corner,” the band was the first in Santa Barbara to record on a major label, Warner Bros./Reprise Records.<br />
<br />
Numerous recording projects followed as a member of Giant Crab, Big Brother Ernie Joseph, and Brian Faith Band.<br />
<br />
A CD release in 2012 was his most recent work as part of the Lillimar Pictures documentary soundtrack, “Makin’ It – The Story of the Brian Faith Band,” produced by award winning filmmakers John Ferry and Grace DeSoto Ferry.<br />
<br />
Cory dedicated his life to sharing his music. He will also be remembered for directly helping other musicians with his musical talent, record producing skills, encouragement and inspiration.<br />
<br />
Another favorite pastime of Cory’s was dabbling in electronic instrument repair and restoring musical instruments.<br />
<br />
Cory also enjoyed the company of his pet cat “Sunshine” who he often photographed, bringing Cory much peace and solace.<br />
<br />
One of Cory’s proud accomplishments was in serving his country as a U. S. Marine.<br />
<br />
Cory’s last, and only musical performance since his battle with cancer, was for SBHS class of ’66 50th Reunion, where he was among friends who knew and loved him.<br />
<br />
The family wishes to thank Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, City of Hope (Dr.Jasmine Zain), the Ridley-Tree Cancer Center (Dr.Neetu Sekhon), and Cathy Swain for their quality care and love.<br />

As the webmaster of his site I have the sad task of letting you know that Cory "The Colt" Orosco lost his long and valiant battle with cancer last night. Everyone loves Cory--he's just one of those people. His ready smile, his soft voice, his personal humility, and his blazing musical talents are what I will remember best about him. A statement from the family will come soon. Until then, let's hold them up in our prayers and send them the very best of our love.</div>

We will be returning to our old home, the Earl Warren Showgrounds, on Thursday April 27, 2017 from 6 to 8 pm. Back in the day we were the house band and took part in many, many concerts and Battle of the Band competitions. We can't wait to see you there and play some of the old tunes as well as some new ones!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
In 1965 a band of four good looking guys in matching suits and dog collars performed at the Dolphin Club and took us by storm. That band was <a href="http://www.ernieandtheemperors.net/" target="_blank">Ernie and The Emperors</a> (the core of which was the three Orosco brothers, Ernie, Cory, and Brian) and they hooked us with their Reprise Records 45 “Meet Me At The Corner.” Do you remember going to Bob’s Appliances to buy your records? The Emperors’ single hit the Top 5 not only in that shop, but also on all of the county’s radio stations. When they had a night off of their job as the house band at Earl Warren Showgrounds, they played all over the state and went on to make some pretty impressive tours as Big Brother Ernie Joseph, sharing the stage with the Allman Brothers, Bruce Springsteen, Roy Orbison, the Strawberry Alarm Clock, and many others. Their albums, including the iconic collectible, Confusion, are still selling, some fetching upwards of $300 per copy.<br />
<br />
When they returned to Santa Barbara, they opened a recording studio where through the years they worked with such luminaries as members of Ambrosia, the Doobie Brothers, the Grass Roots, The Drifters, Herman’s Hermits, Missing Persons, the Marshall Tucker Band, Iron Butterfly, Steppenwolf, Toto, Vanilla Fudge, Tower of Power, and Canned Heat, as well as Katy Perry and Chaka Kahn. And the list goes on.<br />
<br />
In 2012 Lillimar Pictures made a documentary on the band, <a href="http://lillimar.com/Makin-It.html" target="_blank">Makin’ It</a>, in which filmmaker John Ferry follows the musical careers of the Orosco brothers from when they sang for snacks at the market in their childhood State Street neighborhood, to today. In Makin’ It, Ferry caught the essence of what made Ernie, Cory, and Brian so popular with their audiences, and what has kept them popular all these years. Focusing on their dedication to music and to each other, Ferry delivers an intimate look into their lives and hearts. And heart has always been what sets them apart from other bands.<br />
<br />
In more recent years the group has been performing under the name of <a href="http://thebrianfaithband.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Brian Faith Band</a> and, speaking as one of their original appreciators from the Dolphin Club, I’ll vouch for them. The years have been good to them. Their sound still is fresh and they still put on a good show. The dance floor is seldom empty once they get going! From Ernie’s prowess on lead guitar to Brian’s amazing voice and Cory’s mastery of any instrument he picks up, this band just plain rocks. But don’t think you’ll hear merely a great cover band. Just as they did in the 1960s and ‘70s, they have a huge catalog of catchy original songs, too. The band has been through a number of incarnations through the years so they’re more than qualified to please any audience, from those of us who love to experience a little nostalgia to those who enjoy taking in new bands. Whatever you want to hear, these guys will deliver, and they’ll do so with the magic they showed us back in the Sixties when they first thrilled us with their uplifting sound and their unique showmanship.<br />
<br />
On Friday night, January 6, you’ll have the opportunity to see them when they perform at <a href="http://www.mavericksaloon.org/" target="_blank">The Maverick Saloon</a> (the old Barn where they used to perform in the Sixties) in Santa Ynez. If you’re an alumnus of Santa Ynez High School (or even if you're not!) you won’t want to miss this event!Kaye Wallerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06491607694389685973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594139021067404629.post-79518782544290102812016-09-25T14:57:00.002-07:002016-10-07T15:18:31.474-07:00Welcome Back, Cory!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was great to have Cory back on stage last night! He hasn't performed since he began undergoing treatments for cancer two years ago. The occasion was the 50
year reunion of Cory's graduating class at San Marcos High School, held at El
Paseo in Santa Barbara. Congrats, Cory. We love you! Keep fighting the good fight!

Gary James of <a href="http://www.classicbands.com/" target="_blank">Classic Bands.com</a> has just published a wonderful interview with Ernie. In it, they discuss Ernie's friendships with Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Ronnie Van Zandt, Ed King, and a number of other music greats as well as the early beginnings and the popularity of Ernie and The Emperors. Most interesting is how it was Frank Sinatra who "discovered" the young, teenage band and signed them to his label, Reprise Records.<br />

Keep rockin’ my brothers and sisters: Ernie and The Emperors, Brian Faith Band, Out Of The Blue, The Cowsills, Exit, The Pups, The Rincon Band, and thanks a mil to Roger Gilbert.<br />
<br />
It was a pleasure playing with you guys.<br />
