His methodology is somewhat dubious and has been criticised, but the book exists and Whitburn is normally regarded as a reliable source. My view has been that we should treat in the details in the book with great caution, but if we provide references it's OK to refer to it. 3051: 2963: 2841: 2753: 2665: 2352: 2222: 2128: 2052: 447: 2479: 1675: 1249: 567: 944: 1481:.

I am baffled by your revert of my talk page note about Brenda Lee. This is an article suggestion.

Since you and I often work on the same pages, I just wanted to make a request.

An article titled “Same Old Song” appeared in the Los Angeles Times on August 3, 1997. It describes how Coslow received royalties for “Everybody Loves Somebody” as the result of an agreement with Irving Taylor and Ken Lane in 1950. Coslow’s claim was based on the melody of a 1920s song titled

In the light of this information, I believe my change should stand. The Knowledge entry for “Everybody Loves Somebody” is technically correct because it reflects the ASCAP entry which has been supported in the courts, even though dubious.

Coslow’s name does not appear on sheet music for “Everybody Loves Somebody” even after the 1950 royalties agreement. Neither “Midnight Moon” nor “Everybody Loves Somebody” is mentioned in Coslow’s autobiography.
