Louis Cottrell Trio, NO, 1/27/61, RiversideRLP12-385, OJC CD1836-2.Cottrell band at Dixieland Hall, 11/15/64,Nobility LP703.Chris Burke at Hopkinton, 3/31/74, RHR 741.[skipping several country-looking bands]Golden State JB, 1980, SOS 1006!Well, hell: At that title here we already foundother sources and the copyright reg.confirming Don Albert-Louis Cottrell-LloydGlenn. And no “true” on the copyright.Well, the Black Eagles’ tune is indeed thesame as the Golden State JB’s “You Don’tLove Me” and a recording I have of it by JamieWight in New Orleans.And we have to conclude that Tony was justmistaken in naming it True I’m “Just CrazyOver You.” Cottrell copyrighted it andrecorded it in 1936 under the other title, andrecorded it twice more in the ’60s under thattitle. And even Chris Burke, whose performanceof it is where Pringle learned the tune,put it on the LP from that concert under theother title. NOBODY else nowhere has calledit True I’m Just Crazy Over You except theBlack Eagles and Albion.BUT Tony suggested that his title came fromthe lyrics. I tracked down Chris Burke (Britreed player, long in New Orleans). Heconfirmed that they usually referred to thesong as just “True” because that was the firstword of the lyrics. In fact, when he laterrecorded it for Buck in 1984, the title they usedwas “True (You Don’t Love Me).” Given that,and the Wikipedia entry, I figured it wouldn’thurt to add “True” as an alternative title.You Don’t Understand (ClarenceWilliams–Spencer Williams–James P.

Dec. 20, 1926; E654633; Consolidated music pub. house,Chicago.Oh, dear: the OKeh label matches thecopyright: no sub, no Armstrong. So wheredid the subtitle come from? Well, Louis’s lyricstarts, “You made me love you when I saw youcry.” The Columbia Hot Five/Seven CD sethas no subtitle, nor does Rust. I’ll bet thatpeople have just added that “subtitle” todistinguish this song from the better known1913 ballad (below). But not many people:Now I see that I have 11 recordings of thissong, and only the three Stomp Offs abovehave that subtitle, so it obviously doesn’tbelong there. And while the Columbia CD setshows Venable-Armstrong, the King Jazz CDreissue of the Okehs shows Venable only, ason the record label.Clearly, we go with the copyright and therecord label.You Made Me Love You (I Didn’tWant to Do It) (James V.
