Co-composer of "It’s The Dreamer In Me"

[edit]

The article contained a contradiction; in one place it named Jimmy Dorsey as co-composer of "It’s The Dreamer In Me", in another his brother Tommy. An acquaintance of mine, who knows such things, wrote to me "[I]t’s Jimmy Dorsey who should get the credit. I’ve seen one other site with this faulty reference, but I don’t see any evidence that it’s a correct credit." and later "I’ve done a little more research in liner notes, and it is pretty certain it was Jimmy Dorsey who collaborated with Van Huesen on that number. It says so in the liner notes of the ASV compilation of Van Huesen’s work. Also, you can find several references to Jimmy and Jimmy’s collaboration on “It’s The Dreamer In Me” on the web, but the only one to Tommy was the Wikipedia article (re-printed by answers.com)." Given that the entry for Tommy comes from this rather sweeping change which was only summarized as "tidy, clean up", I think that must have been an error. — Sebastian 05:54, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tidy up needed?

[edit]

Sixth paragraph of Life & Career has..."at that time because of his music with interest in flying". - What does this mean? additionally... "these men were lifelong friends until the 1970s". - either 'lifelong' or 'until...' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.155.85.217 (talk) 13:20, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
