Stomp Off 1001 - Dickbaker.org

Mathew says, we had the title by Henry aloneand also with Gillespie & Reilly as lyrics. Wealso had by Hodgkins and Coonan and a thirdone by Joe Jordan. Tom [Brier] says there areTWO “That Raggedy Rags” and both we(ARC) and you (SOS) have them mixed up.LC cy cards explain it all:1. (published) That raggedy rag, lyric by ArthurGillespie & Jas. M. Reilly, music by S. R.Henry. 1/22/12, Jos. W. Stern.2. (published) That raggedy rag, medley.March & two step by S. R. Henry [and] I’mcrazy for love; medley march and two-step byGene Hodgkins and Jack Coogan, arr. by EarlF. Williams, orchestra. 5/7/12, Jos. W. Stern,NY. “copyright claimed on arrangement fororchestra.”3. (published) That raggedy rag [and] I’mcrazy for love; by S. R. Henry and GeneHodgkins; band. 6/27/28 by Jos. W. Stern, NY.“copyright claimed on arrangement for band.”4. (published) That raggedy rag. dance songw/m by Joe Jordan. 3/12/10, Harry Von Tilzer.So there it is: In January 1912, Sternpublished “That Raggedy Rag” byHenry/Gillespie-Reilly. In May 1912, Sternpublished an orchestration combining “ThatRaggedy Rag” with “I’m Crazy for Love” byHodgkins-Coogan. In 1928 Stern published aband arrangement of the same medley, butdropped some of the composer credits from it.Obviously, the band that recorded it for StompOff got hold of one of that 1928 bandarrangement.Note too that I accidentally corrected an Erdosmistake: The CD label said the second tunewas named “And I’m Crazy for Love.” Ioverlooked the “And,” which turned out to bewrong anyway!I’m Down in the Dumps(Wesley Wilson)Rusty Taylor’s Jazz Makers 10822013 review: Rec.
