Correction to writer credits: Yes, it is true that those writers are "credited" as the writers of the tune "Sugar Shack", BUT, The true story is this: The song was actully written by Jimmy Torres of the Group, The String-A-Longs. (You might remember another tune he wrote called"Wheels".) He sold the rights to "Sugar Shack" to Keith McCormick, and Fay Voss, for $50.00. Why, you ask?---
ReplyDeleteHe simply needed the money. And that's the way it was done in the 60's.
