The Josh White article states that the song was first recorded by White, then White taught it to Frank Sinatra. If true, this should probably be mentioned in the article. Badagnani 22:18, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First Performance[edit]

I don't have time to fix it right now, but the "first performance" of the title song here is off. Earl and Abel finished this song off in the spring of 1942 and Robinson was playing it around... I think the first performance was at the 2nd Cavalcade of American Folk Music in June 1942. At least so says the Daily Worker article from then, which mentions its anticipated debut. I know for certain that Robinson sang it on September 5, 1942, in Seattle, at the Moore Theatre, when he also debuted Abe Lincoln Comes Home Again (eventually called The Lonesome Train). I have the program from that night. That's original research, but surely there's something published somewhere that confirms that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.231.104.7 (talk) 23:30, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
