Percy Mayfield began his performing career in Texas and then moved to Los Angeles in 1942, but without success as a singer until 1947, when a small record label, Swing Time Records, signed him to record his song "Two Years of Torture." The record sold steadily over the next few years, prompting Art Rupe to sign Mayfield to his label, Specialty Records, in 1950. However, in 1952 an auto accident disfigured his face so he left performing, writing songs only. Which of these songs, written by Percy, are you familiar with?
