Robert Mosley (pop musician)

He recorded several singles at the end of the fifties and in the first half of the sixties, as a solo singer as well as in the duo Mayme & Robert (with Mayme Roberts).[1] In 1963 he issued "Crazy 'Bout My Baby"[2] which was covered in Sweden by Tages. The B-Side of it, "Goodbye my Lover, Goodbye", was popular among quite some artists and was covered more than ten times.[3] For instance by The Searchers that had an international hit with it in 1965.[4][5] Mosley was (co-)writer of these songs.[3]

All together twelve of his (co-)compositions reached the Billboard Hot 100.[6] Artists that recorded his music were, among others, Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughan, The Shirelles, The Ventures, Pat Boone, Connie Francis, Patti Page, Manfred Mann and The Cats.[3][6][7]
