Henry Glover, songwriter
Henry Glover (May 21, 1921 - April 7, 1991). A pioneering behind-the-scenes figure, Henry Glover was one of the first truly successful black executives in the music business, rising to prominence in the late '40s with Syd Nathan's independent (and white-owned) King label. No mere pencil-pusher, Glover was a talented jack of all trades who served at various times as a producer, arranger, songwriter (sometimes under the alias Henry Bernard), engineer, trumpet player, talent scout, A&R rep, studio builder, and -- later on -- label owner in his own right.

I posted three videos, and we only overlapped one song (your Delmore Bros. link has been pulled) and no artists! What a guy...
