About the artist

CROCKETT, HOWARD (1925–1994). Singer and songwriter Howard Crockett was born Howard Hausey in Yellow Pine, Webster Parish, Louisiana, on December 25, 1925. He pitched in the Brooklyn Dodgers' farm system but turned to singing and songwriting after a shoulder injury ended his baseball career.
