The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel to compete for the best original song Emmy for the first time

Variety

Fictional crooner Shy Baldwin's song "One Less Angel" will compete in the Emmy original song competition. In Season 3, Midge Maisel opens for Baldwin, played by LeRoy McClain. Co-creator Amy Sherman-Palladino tasked songwriters Thomas Mizer and Curtis Moore to listen to Johnny Mathis and Sam Cooke to create a body of work that included at least one hit record. “It wasn’t so much to be a pastiche of those artists,” says Moore, the lyricist. “Amy was really clear from the beginning when she gave us those two names. She really wanted to feel like if you went to a used-record store today, you could search for Shy Baldwin’s album because you feel like he must exist.”
