Article Title Is Wrong

[edit]

The title of the article "Wanted Man (Johnny Cash song)" is wrong - completely misleading - it should be changed to "Wanted Man (Bob Dylan song)". The article actually states that it's a song written by Bob Dylan and recorded by several people including initially Johnny Cash. The fact that JC also used the song title as the name for one of his albums ("Wanted Man", about which there is a separate article) does not make it a "Johnny Cash song". But I'm not an expert at changing article titles, so I'm leaving this note in the hope that someone will action the change in due course. Pete Hobbs (talk) 13:30, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Although Dylan wrote the song, it was written specifically to be sung by Cash. Dylan has never (as far as I'm aware) released it himself. Other artists have released cover versions, but it's still best known as a Johnny Cash song, and this is primarily what people would expect. Bazonka (talk) 15:08, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
