So just how messed up is our culture?<\/p>\n
While listening to my newest favorite oldies station in Cairo WV, they played Mr Sandman, a song recorded in the 1950s by The Chordettes. Near the end of song, where the females are singing about their dream man, the song specifically mentions “curly hair like Liberace”. Really? <\/p>\n
So that got me curious what kind of person would write a song for women to think their ideal soulmate is an effeminate man who plays the piano.<\/p>\n
Which gets me to the point, which has nothing to do with that.<\/p>\n
I went looking for who wrote the song and\/or lyrics and I wound up here.<\/p>\n

This site any many others credit Robert F Diggs as the writer. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, he’s the Leader of the Hip hop gang known as Wu-Tang Clan and was born in 1969<\/p>\n

The Wikipedia account seems credible and has an image of the record which credits the song to Pat Ballard, a man who died in 1960<\/p>\n

More than you ever wanted to know about Pat Ballard. He was married, but had no children<\/p>\n
