#OnThisDay in 1925, #MickeyBaker, American session guitar player (Mickey & Sylvia - "Love Is Strange"), born in Louisville, Kentucky (d. 2012).
#HappyBirthday #RIP 🕊

@thetonearm The flip side of Cole's single is perhaps better-remembered now:

Ann Cole with the Suburbans: "Each Day" (1956)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSaQBxQDGys

"Each Day" was also covered by the jazz singer Sylvia Syms for the pop market. For some reason, her version (released on Decca) omits the name of Clowney and only lists Bob Kornegay and Paul Winley as the writers of the song.
