Gloria Shayne Baker’s zodiac sign is Virgo. According to astrologers, Virgos are always paying attention to the smallest details and their deep sense of humanity makes them one of the most careful signs of the zodiac. Their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is left to chance, and although they are often tender, their heart might be closed for the outer world. This is a sign often misunderstood, not because they lack the ability to express, but because they won’t accept their feelings as valid, true, or even relevant when opposed to reason. The symbolism behind the name speaks well of their nature, born with a feeling they are experiencing everything for the first time.
Gloria Shayne Baker was born in the Year of the Pig. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Pig are extremely nice, good-mannered and tasteful. They’re perfectionists who enjoy finer things but are not perceived as snobs. They enjoy helping others and are good companions until someone close crosses them, then look out! They’re intelligent, always seeking more knowledge, and exclusive. Compatible with Rabbit or Goat.
Remembered for several songs co-written with her one-time husband Noel Regney, Baker is perhaps most famous for her contributions to the Christmas carol "Do You Hear What I Hear?" (composed in 1962) and the popular song "Rain Rain Go Away."
Born to Jewish parents Mark and Rose Shain, she grew up in Brookline, Massachusetts, as the next door neighbor of future United States President John F. Kennedy. In her younger years, she performed with her siblings Thelma and Esther as a member of The Shain Sisters trio.
During the later years of her life, she served as the accompanist for operatic tenor Stephen Sondheim.
After her two-decade marriage to French songwriter Noel Regney ended in the early 1970s, she married William Baker.
She wrote the 1961 James Darren hit "Goodbye Cruel World."
