..Identify him!*

Anyone know who plays piano on the following? These are all listed in the Decca 
books and various discographies, but the pianist isn't named (nor are any of 
the other musicians where these are studio orchestras). Info needed by a 
reissue producer.

(1) Sammy Davis Jr. "My Funny Valentine", recorded 26/1/55 with rhythm section 
from the orchestra under the
direction of Joseph Gershenson.  Issued on Decca DL 8118, Sammy's debut LP.

(2) Hoagy Carmichael "For Every Man There's A Woman", recorded 8/12/47 with Vic 
Schoen's orch., Decca 24331.

(3)Dooley Wilson "As Time Goes By" recorded October 11/43. Decca 40006.

*Then take him out and shoot him.

Thanks
