Nothing listed here: https://www.jazzdisco.org/savoy-records/discography-1956/ but it's safe to assume it was one of the other musicians.

It sounds like Mickey "Guitar" Baker, and he played guitar on that recording session. It's a little deeper than his voice in most of the Mickey & Sylvia songs I've heard. But the tone sounds the same. Tone is inherited, and usually unique, or close to it. Pitch can be varied by the singer to suit the needs of the song. I'd guess Baker as the first choice.

Buddy Lucas was on that session as well. After listening to several of his vocals, rather than Mickey Baker, I'd vote for HIM. But, it COULD possibly be either. Still, based on sound evidence, I'd go with Lucas. His natural voice is deeper than Bakers, and seems to have a tone closer to that in Big Maybelle's recording.

If anyone has access to TJ Lubinsky, I'd suggest contacting him. As the grandson of the former Savoy Records founder and main operator, he still may be in possession of the company's paperwork. He acts as a consultant on various re-release projects. So he might not mind looking that up. I know we had several members of Soulful Detroit Forum that had regular contact with him. He is a member and regular poster there. I have had thread post "conversations" with him. But i don't have the nerve to bother him with this question having not even had direct e-mail contact with him. But, maybe one of you has had some direct contact with him?
