2013 review: Confirmed by 11/26/23 copyrightreg. as Steve J. Lewis & A. J. Piron.Kiss Your Pretty Baby Nice(Edgar Dowell–Corrine Dowell–Mamie Medina)Carol Leigh & Jim Dapogny 1064Barbara Rosene 14312013 Copyright book search:KISS YOUR PRETTY BABY NICE; words andmelody by J.

Edgar Dowell & CorrineDowell. 1923 unpub: w. Mamie Medina, m.Edgar Dowell.Aha, so Corrine-Edgar Dowell really meansCorrine & Edgar Dowell. When Mamie addedlyrics two years later, Corrine was left off thecopyright card for some reason.And I see now that clear back at the 2ndedition, I had note:Erdos: skip Medina as later lyricist.2013 review: Can find no evidence it waspublished in sheet form, so let’s see therecords: Ethel Waters, 8/21, Black Swan2038, Paramount 12170. Hah! Black Swanlabel says composers are Corrine and Dowell!So it was wrong from the start.I don’t like this a bit. I’ve looked everywhereand can find no evidence of a Corrine Dowellever being associated with a piece of music,and there’s not even a Corrine Dowell in thecopyright files except as reported by Caulfieldfor entries I can’t find. Did he perhaps seeCorrine-Edgar Dowell and presume that thatequated to Corrine & Edgar Dowell? Ofcourse, I supposed it’s possible that “by J.Edgar Dowell and Corrine” in that 1921copyright is a stilted way of saying J. Edgarand Corrine Dowell. But it’s also possible thatthe 1923 reregistration was done to correct aflawed earlier copyright.Most references to this song credit Corrine-Dowell, right off the label; the rest creditDowell-Medina, which certainly is safe, sincethere’s a copyright that way and MamieMedina collaborated with Edgar Dowell onother songs. I believe I’ll finesse the issue byciting all three.Kitchen Tom (Eubie Blake)Ophelia Ragtime Orchestra 1108Not in copyright books 1905-09, but BlakeCollection at Maryland Historical Society hashandwritten score dated 1908.
