Infos
The Bourgeois Blues (Huddie Ledbetter/Alan Lomax) Leadbelly ['39, Musicraft 227, Musicraft Album 31 Negro Sinful Tunes; '44 Folkways FP 34 Leadbelly's Legacy, Vol. 4: Easy Rider].
I Got Mine (trad.) Intoduced in 1902 by Arthur Collins and Joe Natus ["I Got Mine - Coon Song" on Monarch] Subsequently recorded by country artists Fiddlin' John Carson ['24, Okeh 40119], the Skillet Lickers ['26, Columbia 15134-D] , John McGhee ['27, Gennett 6403], and black artists Big Boy George Owens ['26, "The Coon Crap Game", Gennett 6006], Frank Stokes ['28, Victor V38512], and Robert (Barbecue Bob) and Charlie Hicks ['30, "Darktown Gamblin' - Part 1 (The Crap Game), Columbia 14531-D]. Pink Anderson revived it in 1950 [Riverside RLP 12-611 Carolina Street Ballads] and 1961 [Bluesville LP 1051, Pink Anderson Vol. 2 Medicine Man Show], and appeared on Jim Kweskin's Relax Your Mind ['66, Vanguard VRS-9188].
Always Lift Him Up (Alfred Reed) Blind Alfred Reed ['29, "Always Lift Him Up and Never Knock Him Down", Victor 21360].
Kanaka Wai Wai (trad.) A Hawaiian song. A website (geocities.com) gives its full title as "Iesu me ke Kanaka Waiwai" (Jesus with the Rich Man). The song may have been around since the 1800s. The websites lists the composers as John K. and Pua Almeida, copyright 1971, and says that Almeida rewrote this version for the Mormon Church in 1915, although the original composer may have been the grandfather of entertainer Moe Keala. It was popularized in the early '70s by Eddie Kamae and the Sons of Hawai'i, and it has been much recorded.
He'll Have to Go (Allison, Allison) The classic country crossover hit by Jim Reeves ['59, RCA 7643], first done by Billy Brown [‘59, Columbia 41380].
Smack Dab in the Middle (Charles E. Calhoun) Introduced by its writer Charles Calhoun (aka Jesse Stone) and Orchestra ['55, MGM 11989]. Recorded by the Jacks ['55, B-side of "Why Don't You Write Me", RPM 428], Count Basie with Joe Williams ['56, Verve 89169] and several others. Charted for Ray Charles ['64, ABC-Paramount 10588]
Stand By Me (Ben E. King, Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller) 1961 hit for Ben E. King [Atco 6194].
Yellow Roses (K. Devine, S. Nichols) Hank Snow ['55, RCA 6057].
Chloe (Gus Kahn, Neil Moret) Introduced by Lee Barton Evans in 1927, it as popular in several versions in 1928: the Singing Sophomores [Columbia 1257-D], the All-Star Orchestra [Victor 21149], Shilkret's Rhyth-Melodists [Victor 21298], Paul Whiteman, feat. Austin Young [Victor 35921], and Bessie Brown [Brunswick 3817]. Although recorded by several artists in subsequent years, its next chart success was the Spike Jones parody ['45, Victor 20-1654].
Goodnight Irene (Huddie Ledbetter, John Lomax) "Irene", by Leadbelly, first on Library of Congress recordings ['33, '34, '35], an unissued recording for ARC ['35], WNYC broadcast transcriptions ['41-'42]. It was recorded and released in 1943 [Asch 343-2, in Asch album A343, Songs by Lead Belly, alternate take released on Melodisc 1151 and later on Stinson SLP 17 Leadbelly Memorial: Volume I], 1944 [Capitol 40130], 1945 [Folkways LP FC 7533], 1948 [Folkways LP FA 242 Leadbelly's Last Sessions, Vol. 1] and 1949 [Playboy LP PB 119]. Rypens reports that it may have been written by Gussie Davis in 1885, and was learned by Leadbelly from his uncle Bob Ledbetter (who recorded it for Library of Congress in 1940). It brought folk music to the pop mainstream in 1950 in a version by Gordon Jenkins and the Weavers [Decca 9-27077], with other charting versions by Frank Sinatra [Columbia 4-38892], Jo Stafford [Capitol F1142], Dennis Day [RCA Victor 47-3870], the Alexander Brothers [Mercury 5465-X45], Red Foley and Ernest Tubb [Decca 9-46255], Moon Mullican [King 886] and Paul Gayten [Regal 3281].
