In dealing with Pat Shannon and his career, it's important to remember that sometimes nepotism isn't a matter of undue favoritism.
Pat Shannon's real name was Patrick Jay Glasser, and he was the brother of Warner Bros. staff producer Dick Glasser & Ted Glasser.
That obviously gave him an edge in getting recorded, but he did have the talent to justify the effort.
His career began in the late '50s with the single "Maybelle" & "Knock, Knock (Who's There)" at Decca, and he cut a total of four singles for the label through the end of 1959.
These records were mostly in a Country-Rockabilly Pop vein, with several sides featuring the Anita Kerr Singers and Owen Bradley producing several of them.
Patrick Jay Glasser, American producer, singer-songwriter, born March 17, 1941- died June 29, 2005, in California he had suffered a stroke previously.
