Written
By Bill Katz, Ruth Roberts, and Teresa
Brewer, "I Love Mickey" was recorded on
the Coral record label in 1956, by
Mickey Mantle and Teresa Brewer. The
song was introduced in August of that
year on the Ed Sullivan Show. In
December Rock and Roll Songs Magazine
published an issue that featured Teresa
Brewer and Mickey Mantle on the cover.
A
picture of the two in the recording
studio. Inside this issue on page 12,
an article written by Teresa Brewer,
"Why I Love Mickey"
The song features Teresa Brewer Singing the Lyrics, with Mickey Mantle
Talking Back to her. Brewer would sing;
"I Love Mickey," and Mantle would reply
"Mickey Who?" (Brewer) "You know the
Fella with the celebrated swing...."
The Song came into being when one day
Teresa Brewer was at a Yankee game
watching Mickey in action. While
leaving the Ball park Teresa commented
to her friend "That Mantle is terrific!
Someone should write a song about him"
Teresa started singing her friend
chimed in and they had a few bars
written. They presented the song to
Mickey, and Mantle said "Great", and
recorded the song with Teresa.
"I Love Mickey" was released on side A, of a 7 inch, 45 RPM record, with
side B featuring "Keep Your Cotton Pickin' Paddies Offa My Heart" by
Teresa Brewer. It was also released
later, on a 78 RPM record, and in 1957,
Teresa released an Album "miss Music"
which featured the song "I Love Mickey"
