Accomplished composer and musician at Hal Roach studios during the 1930s; he wrote Laurel & Hardy's legendary signature tune 'The Cuckoo Song'.

Hatley played almost every band instrument, plus the piano. After he was released from the Roach studios in an economy move, he had a successful second career as a nightclub pianist. He always insisted he made more money as a club player than he ever did as Roach's music director.
