Buzz Clifford

Reese Francis Clifford III (October 8, 1941 – January 26, 2018), known professionally as Buzz Clifford, was an American pop singer and songwriter. His biggest success came with his recording of the novelty song "Baby Sittin' Boogie", which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Career Clifford was born in Berwyn, Illinois, United States. He played guitar as a child and won several talent competitions as a teenager. Clifford's fame was short-lived, however; further singles went nowhere (a remake of Kay Kyser's "Three Little Fishies" reached No. 102) and Clifford soon found himself without a recording contract.
