the "Big Blue Book" was compiled anddistributed in 1966 or later.Generally, Tenn. State has original sheetmusic, but this comes from a later folio. In myown record collection, the Redman-Gilbertpairing comes up twice on "Cherry," both onrecordings by Harry James. And Bill Haeslernotes that Ray Gilbert was active in the '40s,much later than "Cherry."So here's an educated guess: Ray Gilbertmodified Don Redman's lyrics at some laterdate.Others on the list agreed, so am making thechange here.follow-up: Haesler noted that the linementioned above, “no one in this world willever take your place,” is NOT found in theoriginal 1928 Redman recording; I checked, itain’t. Then I did a bit more research andreported back to Haesler:I have that Circle LP of the 1941 Harry Jamesrecording, which credits Ray Gilbert-DonRedman. The lyrics sung there are about 50%the same as the original Redman 1928recording: some changing, some reordering.BUT the line "No one in this world will evertake your place" is NOT there. Go figure. Butregardless of that, it would appear that RayGilbert took, or was given, lyricist credit forsubstantially modifying Redman's lyrics.Update for 6th ed., May 2013. I’m sure theabove is right, but let’s look again:Rec.7/12/28, McKinney’s Cottom Pickers, Victor21730, Bluebird B-5145, B-6304,9/29/28, The Big Aces, Okeh 41136,Parlophone R-365, Odeon 165125,1/23/39, Bob Crosby, Decca 27037/18/39, Erskine Hawkins, Bluebird B-10540,30-0819, Victor 20-32857/23/40, Rex Stewart, Hot Record Society20043/27/41, Benny Goodman, Harmony 10614/11/40, Louis w/Mills Bros., Decca 31807/22/42, Harry James, Columbia 36683, 20992Aha, the 1928 copyright entry:Cherry; fox-trot, words and music by DonaldRedman, arr. by Art Addoms; pf. acc, withukulele or banjulele banjo.

Jasen-Tichenor book says it wasneither copyrighted nor published, so I guessthis is as much proof as we’ll get. But nowsome pedantry. We had 90's; but differentsources also have 90s and ’90s. The latter isgrammatically correct, and that’s the wayTrebor first recorded it, so that’s what I’ll use.But later comes Campbell researcher RichardEgan (see note at Barber Shop Rag):Chestnut Street in the '90's - is how itappears on Brun's record, recordedDecember 1946 and released on the WestCoast Label.
