Sol Parker, aka Barry Parker (né Solomon Peskin; 10 June 1919 – 11 January 2010) was an American songwriter, pianist, and entertainment industry entrepreneur. In 1941, Parker collaborated with Hank Sanicola and Frank Sinatra in composing the "This Love of Mine," which was Sinatra's first solo vocal hit record. His other compositions include "Dansero" (©1953), "Tell Her You Love Her" (©1958), "The Sand & The Sea" (©1955), and many themes for foreign motion pictures.

Career
Sinatra biographer Arnold Shaw published in 1968 that Parker had been a shirt salesman. But the U.S. Census for 1940 indicates that he was a clerk for a music publisher.

In 1965, Parker became Professional Manager for a group of music publishers – Barton Music Corp., Sands Music Corp., Maraville Music Corp., and Ding Dong Music Corp. – all originally owned by Sinatra, Ben Barton (1900–1989) (one-time manager of Sinatra), and Hank Sanicola (né Henry William Sanicola; 1914–1974) (Sinatra's manager, until 1962). During his tenure there, the Maraville catalog included two works that that won Academy Awards for Best Original Song, in 1957, "All The Way," and in in 1959, "High Hopes." Parker was a member of Broadcast Music, Inc.
