Masato, some years ago (see above), you wrote, "This is not a parody, but the original, which has a verse. I didn't think that it was a woman's song. From THIS SITE. Are You Lonesome Tonight? [mp3] Performed by: Vaughn DeLeath (The Radio Girl), Bill Regis Composed by: Roy Turk & Lou Handman Edison Diamond Disc Matrix Number: 11734-B-2-1 Release Number: 52044-L Recording Date: 1927 Release Date: 1927" Sadly, the link to the mp3 is no longer valid. Do you have another link and, perhaps more importantly, do you know the recording date (not just the year)? Ned Jakobs recorded his version on 17 May 1927. Some sources list his as the original.
