@thetonearm Among many other things, David Clowney was also listed as a co-writer on both sides of one of my all-time favorite 45s, Ann Cole's "In the Chapel" / "Each Day", released by Baton Records in 1956.
The ballad "In the Chapel" was a minor chart hit for Cole, peaking at #14 on the Billboard R&B chart in the early months of 1957.

Perhaps not co-incidentally, Ann Cole soon recorded a new version of her own hit for MGM records.
