Louis Armstrong

[edit]

Is this the same song that Louis Armstrong recorded (as indicated in the infobox)? I am guessing "yes"; how many other songs called "Willie the Weeper" date from the 1920s? However, Armstrong's version (at least, on Hot Fives & Sevens) is credited to Marty Bloom, Walter Melrose, and Grant Rymal. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 02:39, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Upon further investigation I think the alternate credit may have come from allmusic (link). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 02:45, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dave McKenna

[edit]

Ditto for a version on Dave McKenna's Fingers CD, composers marked Melrose/Rymal/Bloom. It sounded so "raggy" I wanted to look it up to see how old a tune it was. Bfc0713 (talk) 12:20, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
