Alan(?): " "Don't forget if you ask for the official track listing of a release as licensed - you would then get a different answer!" I've been collecting 19th-20th century variety entertainment for donkey years. I'm currently tracking 39 titles and +200 credited composers on +1,300 releases for just the one melody popularly known as "Yellow Bird" (Bergman-Keith-Luboff, ASCAP, Frank Music Co. NY, 1957.) Mudcatters are quite fond of (mis)assigning it to Harry Belafonte which, oddly enough, has not happened on Ogs (yet!) Wish I could say the same for all the Haitian and "Trad" credits. Welcome to my nightmare.
