From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sid Wayne was a 1950s song writer, lyricist and composer who wrote a number of well-known songs. He worked closely with Ben Weisman and Dolores Fuller. Almost every Elvis Presley movie feature from that era contains one or more works written partly by Sid Wayne.

His most known works are "It's Impossible" written with Armando Manzanero, Mangos written with Dee Libbey, and "Two Different Worlds" written with Al Frisch.
