Mickey Lee Lane (born Mickey Lee Schreiber; February 2, 1941, Rochester, New York – March 18, 2011) 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 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 and The Detroit Cobras (retitled "Hey Sailor”). 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.
