US Rock
'n' Roll duo, Mickey (born Mickey Lee
Schreiber, February 2, 1941in Rochester (New York),
died
March 18, 2011) & Shonnie Lane recorded at
Brunswick Records of New York.
There were many guys like Mickey Lee Lane working the fringes of the New York
music business in the late '50s and '60s: songwriting, performing, arranging,
fooling around in the studio, doing whatever was needed. As guys who hardly
anyone recognizes several decades later go, Mickey Lee Lane persevered longer
than most, building a longer and more interesting resume than many other such
figures who never got big hits. Along the way he did a number of singles under
his own and different names, proving himself to be a worthy if idiosyncratic
performer, capable of mixing New York industry-conscious hooks with gutsy early
rock & roll styles, blue-eyed soul, and outrageous novelty dance lyrics. He is
perhaps best known for his mid-'60s single "Hey Sah-Lo-Ney," a soul-pop-dance
tune that was covered by mid-'60s British mod band the Action.
As a teenage rock fan, Lane entered the business as a songwriter in the Brill
Building, doing a single for Brunswick with his sister Shonnie in 1958. He
floated around as a member of the Bell Notes, a touring pianist with
Neil Sedaka, and a songwriter, placing "My Little Woman" with a fading
Bill Haley. All rather boring to recount, really, and Lane wasn't making
much headway, but he kept plugging away and eventually got to put out some
singles on Swan in the mid-'60s. These were odd but cool items that somehow
sounded both like cynical pastiches of American pop-rock trends and inventive,
rather off-the-wall dance tunes borrowing from early rockers like
Jerry Lee Lewis and
Little Richard, as well as contemporary soul dance songs. One of these, "Shaggy
Dog," sneaked inside the Top Forty in late 1964. "The Zoo," "Hey Sah-Lo-Ney,"
and "The Senior Class" were pretty hep tunes along the same lines. Lane could
also capably offer more pop-oriented tracks, such as "Little Girl (I Was Wrong),"
with its mix of
Jan & Dean, the Four Seasons, and Gary Lewis, or the melodramatic "She Cried
to Me," which was something like
the Shangri-Las as sung from a male point of view.
In the latter part of the 1960s, Lane returned to a more behind-the-scenes role,
as a recording engineer at New York's Studio 76, after which he became head
engineer at Kama Sutra Records. He continued to record demos on his own
throughout the rest of the 20th century. In the late '90s, a career
retrospective CD, Rockin' On...And Beyond, was assembled for the Roller Coaster
label, combining released and previously unreleased items and concentrating upon
his 1960s material.
