Jack Campin Origins: Sweet Nightingale... tune from an opera? (31) RE: Sweet Nightingale... tune from an opera? 22 Mar 17


Looking at the Wikipedia page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Nightingale

it would seem that the attribution to a ballad opera (Arne's Thomas and Sally) was a mistake which Tucker was perpetuating. The words are vaguely similar, the tune isn't.
