Harry "Doc" Bagby
During the 1930s while still a teenager he played at many house parties and became a requested
musician. During the 1940s he started up his own orchestra which lasted until he was drafted
into military service. Post 1945, he managed a record store and soon after was working for
Gotham Records. As its music director he produced numerous records.
Prior to coming on board as a staff member for Gotham Records, Bagby added his piano and organ to recording sessions for the label. One singer that Bagby and his group backed on a few recordings was Doris Browne. In 1953, Bagby and his group backed her on several singles. In 1957, he released the album Honky Tonk in Silk on the Epic label. In 1964, his single "Rubberneck" was released on the Vim label. He released many other singles on an assortment of labels. Harry died in September 1970. from Wikipedia |
