Label also matches the copyright pagebelow.Sheet music: Cover isNOBODY BUT MY BABY(IS GETTIN’ MY LOVE)Copyright page isNobody ButMy Baby Is Getting My LoveASM, 1926, Clarence Williams; w/m Williams &Razaf. Too absurd to deal with, so let’s justleave it the way we have it. Well thetypography on the copyright page and two ofthe recordings is just too weird tocontemplate, so I’m breaking my rule andgoing with the wording of the copyright andthe first recording.Nobody Cares If I’m Blue(Harry Akst–Crant Clarke)Back Bay Ramblers 1279Barbara Rosene & Her New Yorkers 1393ASM, 1929, M. Witmark; w. Clarke/m. Akst.Nobody Knows (and Nobody Seemsto Care) (Irving Berlin)Bob Pelland & Bob Pilsbury 1212Copyright isNobody knows, and nobody seems to care;words and music by I.

Lead & lyric sheets say NOBODYKNOWS THE WAY I FEEL THIS MORNIN’, butpublished version is NOBODY KNOWS THEWAY I FEELS DIS MORNIN’.Nobody Knows What a Red HeadMamma Can Do (Irving Mills–Al Dubin–Sammy Fain)Neville Dickie 1423CD was Nobody Knows What a Red-HeadedMama Can Do.Well, the copyright says “red-head,” which ishow Rust lists the tune, but Rust says mamastead of copyright’s mamma::Nobody knows what a red-head mammacan do; w and m Irving Mills, Al Dubin andSammy Fain, all of U.S. © Dec. 29, 1925; 2c. Jan. 12; E 606424; Jack Mills, inc., NewYork.Well, hell: MTSU lists it as “red head mamma”;U. Maine library calls it “red-head mamma.”So I bought the music and discovered thereason for the confusion. Cover is Red HeadMamma, but copyright is Red-Head Mamma.Nobody Knows You When You’reDown and Out (Jimmie Cox)Rusty Taylor /Southern Stompers 1028Smith–Tyle Frisco Syncopators C 1211Two Clarinet Stompers 1259Rec.

Feb.13, 1929; E unp. 3706; State street musicpub. co., inc., Chicago.Ah, but here’s another one:Nobody knows you when you're down andout; words and music by Jimmie Cox. ©June 3, 1929; 2 c. June 26; E pub. 7071;Clarence Williams music pub. co., inc., NewYork.Columbia label confirms Cox. Seems like Isee him more often as Jimmy, but bothcopyright and U. Maine library index for theircopy of the published sheet agree on Jimmie.Nobody’s Business (How I Love ThatMan) [It’s Nobody’s Business](Gladys Rodgers)Jacobi’s Bottomland Orchestra 1336Rec. Barrel House Five (w/Cl. Williams on pno;this CD is a Williams tribute), 1/29, QRS R-7057, Paramount 12851, Jazz Classics 539.Oops, Gladys Rodgers has six songs in 1929book, but not this one. But here it is in 1928:It's nobody's business; words and melodyby Gladys Rodgers. © 1 c. May 2, 1928; E691191; Clarence Williams music pub. co.,inc., New York.But I keep seeing our subtitle all over theplace, including on the Chrono Classicsreissue of Clarence Williams, whichspecifically states the QRS source. But I alsosee it many places as It’s Nobody’s Business(no subtitle). Could those sources possibly begetting it from the copyright registration?Aha: Record collector Whip Williams reportsthat the QRS 7057 label is indeed the way wehave it! And Bill Haesler reports that theParamount reissue of the QRS original carriedthe copyright title of “It’s Nobody’s Business.”I had previously found that the Jazz Classics539 reissue had that title too.Nobody’s Sweetheart (Elmer Schoebel–Billy Meyers–Ernie Erdman–Gus Kahn)Gauthé–Marquet Clarinet Serenadrs 1216Down Home JB 1264Confirmed by my 1924 sheet music.Nobody’s Using It Now (Clifford Grey–Victor Schertzinger)Barbara Rosene & Her New Yorkers 1422Rec.
