Pat Patterson

Samuel Roosevelt Patterson Jr. born 17 September 1925 in Logan, West Virginia, died 6 September 1980 in Washington, D.C. He recorded as Pat Patterson. His best record is probably "Boppin At Mid-Nite" on Moko Records, out of Union (New Jersey) from around 1957. Then he moved to the Washington, D.C. area, where he is rumored to have been a drummer and talent manager. He copyrighted several songs between 1952 and 1956, notably "Ratamacue" in 1956, a song he later recorded for Morty Craft's Warwick Records. There was a last release of a single on Nippon Records (as Sing-A-Poor Charlie), and that was all, as far as I know.
