"Sweet Dreams"(his original for MGM. All of his MGM recordings have the same

It might have been Summy"Eagle-Eye"Hendricks...I know he did Don's MGM sides before his RCA days.Do a Forum search on Eagle Eye...he has been discussed at length in the past-try the Archives...

He did one of his own tunes "WIGGLE WAGGLE"
on the back of one of GIbson's early RCA releases........... SOunds like a Bakelite and he used a number of JB's signature sounds. Hendricks sounds like a name I was given before. This was in the "DARK FUTURE",
"Red Lips, White Lies and Blue Hours" series of tunes.
