Here's a website that a nice capsule of Mickey's career. http://www.nashvillesongwritersfound...e/newbury.html
I first heard him on the radio one night in California in the late 60's. I was so impressed that I wrote a record store in Nashville to send me the record which was "Looks Like Rain". It was a concept album where every song was written around the theme of rain. Between the tracks was the Misty Moods Orchestra and the sounds of rain. It was one of the saddest and most beautiful things I have ever heard. In the 70's I was living in Tokyo when Mickey won the annual Japan song writers contest. I got to hear him live when he flew over to accept the prize.
