HBRALLAN 22nd Jan 2018		"This Is The Knight" on 4861 above must be the biggest blooper I've ever even though it was soon corrected because no copy I've ever seen has had that 'typo'. See https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/4861 for label scan of “This Is The Knight”



Tailspin 22nd Jan 2018		deezee, I think title is correct. The meaning is “can’t you” come home, I “want you.”



deezee 21st Jan 2018		I could have sworn the title was "Can't You -- Want You?". I've always read it "Won't" but I took a look at my 45 and it shows the same title. I'm sure that it's incorrect but will listen again. This record got sadly overlooked after their first on 4858 was a much covered hit. I'm guessing that all copies had the same error unless anyone can prove otherwise. Maybe we can give some blame to both the typesetters who either typed what was scrawled on a piece of paper and may have been semi-literate themselves. Or the error could have originated from scribble from Chess and the printers just set exactly what they saw. In this case, the masters for this series all came from Stan Lewis of Shreveport, La. but you'd think he'd want his own name to stand out well. Especially as didn't wright a word of it! But "This Is The Knight" on 4861 above must be the biggest blooper I've ever even though it was soon corrected because no copy I've ever seen has had that 'typo'. For another version of Chess label craziness see 1585 a few issues down.



slholzer 2nd Jun 2017		if you didn't know otherwise, you would interpret the composer credit on both these sides as one awkwardly long name. Not a comma or a hyphen in sight, not even a gap larger than the usual single space between first and last names. It's particularly plausible when you consider the country penchant for creating what is essentially one name out of two (Jimmy Lee, Billy Bob etc.). Jimmy Lee, the singer, who I assume is the same as the composer, is not named Lewis, however. His last name is Fautheree. I never found any mention of the S. Lewis named here when I briefly scanned the Internet for Jimmy Lee, but I think he really is a second composer. While I'm ruminating pointlessly, I wonder if Lee and Lewis really meant the title to be "Can't You -- Want You?" "Can't You -- Won't You?" would make more sense, but then, it is what it is. And no, having a video clip to listen to doesn't answer the question, at least not for me. At best, I hear what might be "Can't You -- wun't you" when I listen to it. My country ears just aren't that good.
