US songwriter. Born February 2, 1941 in Rochester, New York - Died 2011.
Brother of Bernard Schreiber/Bernie Lane.
Lane got a job in the Brill Building, located at 1619 Broadway on 49th Street in the New York City borough of Manhattan, as a songwriter in the 1950s, working with Neil Sedaka as a touring pianist and Bill Haley as a songwriter. In addition, he released some singles on Brunswick Records and Swan Records in the 1950s and 1960s; one of them, Shaggy Dog, became a hit and peaked at #38 on the Billboard Hot 100. His tune Hey Sah-Lo-Ney was covered by British group The Action and The Detroit Cobras (retitled Hey Sailor).
Lane continued working as a recording engineer from the late 1960s into the 1990s. Toward the end of the century, a compilation disc entitled Rockin' On...And Beyond was released, which featured both his previous singles and unreleased material.
