Mickey Lee Lane

Mickey Lee Lane was an American rock and roll songwriter and arranger.
Lane was born in Rochester, New York. He got a job in the Brill Building as a songwriter in the 1950s, working with Neil Sedaka as a touring pianist, and Bill Haley as a songwriter. In addition, he released some singles on Brunswick Records and Swan Records in the 1950s and 1960s; one of them, "Shaggy Dog", became a hit and peaked at #38 on the Billboard Hot 100. His tune "Hey Sah-Lo-Ney" was covered by British group The Action, The Detroit Cobras, and Ronnie Spector on her solo album The Last of the Rock Stars.
Lane continued working as a recording engineer from the late 1960s into the 1990s. Toward the end of the century, Rollercoaster Records in the UK released a compilation CD entitled Rockin' On...And Beyond, which featured both his previous singles and unreleased material.
