Bob Mosley
editDear Cherrylimerickey, I've made this change, but I'm not really certain whether the piano player Robert (Bob) Mosley and the pop musician Robert (Bob) Mosley are two different persons or not. I thought so, because of the statement at musicbrainz on personnel at the Charles Mingus Sextet: "piano: Bob Mosley (40s jazz trumpeter who died during the 50s) (1945-09 – 1945-11)". This made me decide to introduce two persons at Robert Mosley (disambiguation). As a matter of fact, the latter one was still active in the sixties. However, the following makes me doubt (in that case no one died in the fifties): The pop musician sang in Mayme & Robert (in this case apparently Mayme Roberts). Together with Mayme Watts he wrote several songs (performed by e.g. with Nat King Cole). Is that the same Mayme, married maybe? And according the article Excelsior Records, next to Nat King Cole there is mentioned "Bob Mosley & his All Stars". The latter one is still active in 2015, but Excelsior Records was active in 1944 to 1951, exactly the period when the jazz pianist was recording. I think that the Robert Mosely mentioned at Music VF is at least the same as the pop musician, because he wrote Sha-La-La by The Shirelles as well, which is listed here as his song as well. Hoping that you have more accurate information on this person / these persons, I have stated all this information here. My simple question is: do you know if this one and the same person or not?
