Bily Snel was an African-American illustrator, designer and musician.  Not much is known about Snel.  "Bily Snel" is most likely not the artist's given name, making research on his birth and death date difficult.  He is best known for an obscure Jazz / Rockabilly novelty 45 RPM music record from 1958.  Snel's apartment may have doubled for his record label's location, Wild Records, which was located at 129 West 69th Street in New York's upper west side.  The two song record (one on each side) contained "One Too Many Heads" and "Queen of Halloween".  The record garnered a "Fair" rating, the second lowest rank, from music industry magazine The Cash Box in October, 1960.
