Above: Label image for Manor 1026-B recorded and released in 1946. Note that writer's credit on the label goes to "Hartman". The true composer seems to be Mary Lou Williams, confirmed by ASCAP's data base. The Musical Notes arrangement, entitled "Pretty Eyed Baby", shows "Mary Lou Williams". However, The Four Tones label credits "Walter Fuller" and The Basin Street Boys record gives "Snub Mosely". "Wami-Wami", the African version by The Manhatten Brothers, gives no credit. Next week's "Part Two" selection by the Four Jumps Of Jive correctly shows "Williams".Click on an option below to listen to Deek Watson And His Brown Dots sing "Satchelmouth Baby" using Windows Media Player.
