Mrs Hortense Cludius (aka Paula Cloud) was born around 1912 in Louisiana.  She resided in Ohio with her husband, Harold C. Cludius, in 1940 and the couple moved afterwards to Texas.  She copyrighted "Sky Rocket Love" in 1958.  As far as I know, this was the only song she wrote.

Even less is known about The Spacers featured on the top side.  One Sid Mack from Dallas posted some fifteen years ago various messages on alt.assassination.jfk, a forum dedicated to the President Kennedy assassination, he's possibly him, the vocalist on XR9?

Both sides were published by S & M Music launched by "Skippy" Settle at the same time as his Skippy Records label in March 1958.
