But that’s just the kind of thinghe did elsewhere and we shouldn’t let it stand.So composer to traditional and alt title of KingBolden’s Tune, since it did get recordedunder that title several times.Malinda’s Weddin’ Day(Frank Weldon)Jimmy Mazzy & Friends 1219we had WeddingRec.

Georgia White, 5/11/36, Decca 7323No copyright 1936. Decca label saysColeman.Copyright isMama let me lay it on you ; w and melodyWalter Coleman. © 1 c. Nov. 6, 1986; E unp.134780; State street music pub. co.,Chicago.Now here’s the story. Walter Coleman wrote itand recorded it--as “Mama”--on 2/8/36 inChicago--just guitar/vocal. Then GeorgeWhite recorded it as “Daddy” three monthslater, and Carol did too.Simple fact is that the “real” title is “Mama,”and that “Daddy” is an alternative, so we moveit to the M’s and put a cross-ref. at Daddy. Ifound that while the jazz world may know it asDaddy from the Georgia White record, it’s farmore common in the folk-blues world due torecordings by Blind Boy Fuller, Bob Dylan(after it was altered to Baby Let Me Follow YouDown), many others.Mama Stayed Out the Whole NightLong (Dan Wilson–Andy Razaf)Jacobi’s Bottomland Orchestra 1336Hmmm: Rust index shows it as Mama StayedOut All Night Long/the Whole Night Long.Butterbeans & Susie (the Whole), 3/5/26,OKeh 8319, Parlophone R-3255.Caroline Johnson (the Whole, but with subtitle“but mama didn’t do no wrong”), 4/26, PA7503, Perfect 103.Maggie Jones (the Whole), 6/22/26, Columbia14167-D.Barrel House Five (as just Mama Stayed Out),1/29, QRS R-7059, Paramount 12851.Cl.
