I note that the current DT entry STRANGE FRUIT appears to fudge the matter - it may be in the process of being clarified, I don't know.

The Permathread Attribution added: DT authors PermaThread notes it, but not very clearly AFAICS.

There was a TV documentary which went over exactly the same ground as the newspaper article cited herein. The article notes the book. The TV doco mentioned the book too. All mentioned the real name and pen name, and identified them clearly.

Apart from personal opinions, the authorship seems clear. I don't care if the DT notes who particular famous singers of a song were, but it would be nice for this one NOT to miss the bus in the next edition... :-)

The jewish closet communist writer is even thought to be a negro now, just the same way that Saddam is thought to be responsible for the Twin Towers business, even though now Bush is making statements allegedly to clear that up...
