Arthur Prysock (January 2, 1929 - June 14, 1997) was an American jazz singer best known for his live shows and his baritone influenced by Billy Eckstine. In 1952 Prysock signed with Decca to record the R&B hit, "I Didn't Sleep a Wink Last Night". He recorded R&B classics such as Roy Brown's "Good Rocking Tonight". In the 1960s, Prysock joined Old Town Records and did an R&B cover of Ray Noble's ballad "The Very Thought of You" (1960) and a pop hit "It's Too Late Baby, It's Too Late" (1965). In the 1970s, Prysock had a surprise disco hit with "When Love Is New" (Old Town, 1977) and in 1985, recorded his first new album in almost a decade, "A Rockin' Good Way" (Milestone).
