Ralph Sanford first recorded for King Records of Cincinnati.  He was then a 16 or 17-year old performer on the "Country Roadshow" in Fort Worth and on the Dallas "Shinding".  He replaced Ronnie Dawson in The Levee Singers in the sixties. That's all about what I'm able to find about Ralph Stanford.

Buzz Records owner (or part-owner) was Bobby Smith who was a key member of the Erskine Hawkins Orchestra and an in-demand session man, this alto-sax master made a number of his own recordings - cuts that have become highly sought-after rarities.

There was a Barbara Mann on Count Records (" Yea Sugar Baby // Choctawhatchee Bay") but this may be another singer.

Songwriters are :

• Mary Ann Curzio (who recorded on Pontiac Records as Mary Ann Curtis)
• Leo Armand Jaques
• Loretta Clemens Tupper, a radio entertainer of the 1930's and 1940's who appeared later in television commercials,

This Shasta is the re-issue of the initial release on the Shastone label launched in May 1958 by Old-time country singer and cowboy actor Jimmy Wakely   After few releases Shastone was renamed Shasta, keeping the same catalog numbering.

On the "Rock Baby Rock" side, Wakely shares with Gershensen the composer credit (he wasn't on the Shastone credit).  This is likely Joseph "Joe" Gershenson,  who headed the Universal Pictures music department throughout the 1950s and 60s.
