From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mickey Lee Lane (born Mickey Lee Schreiber, 1945, Rochester, New York) was an American songwriter and arranger.

Lane 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 60s; one of them, "Shaggy Dog", became a hit and peaked at #38 on the Billboard Hot 100.^[1] His tune "Hey Sah-Lo-Ney" was covered by British group The Action, as well.

Lane continued working as a recording engineer from the late 1960s into the 1990s. Toward the end of the century, a compilation disc entitled Rockin' On...And Beyond was released, which featured both his previous singles and unreleased material.^[2]
