Who is Amy?

The background section quotes Ellington as saying "a friend of mine [...] threw a party for Amy". If anyone can get their hands on The Ellington Era, 1927–1940, it might be good to know who Amy is. Otherwise it's an odd moment in the quote. Akwhitacre (talk) 12:54, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Irving

There is a phrase in the first paragraph about Irving, which says he 'never played a note or wrote a word of lyrics in his life', and yet on the page for him, it talks of his prolific skill at lyric writing. There seems to be some discrepancy here, and I think it is worth looking into. I would assume that it is this page that is at fault.86.168.212.5 (talk) 15:39, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The passive-aggressive tone of the interjection is certainly uncalled for as well, I’d say. His article sounds a bit more balanced:

Mills owned 50% of Duke Ellington Inc. and thus got his name tag on quite a number of tunes that became popular standards… In spite of having a limited vocabulary, Mills was a deft lyricist. He sometimes used a ghost writer to complete his idea and sometimes built on the idea of the ghost writer.

What’s a better way to phrase the first paragraph, then? I’d at least remove that interjection, but “cut himself in for a percentage” also feels somewhat judgmental. —Galaktos (talk) 21:23, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lyrics apparently by Manny Kurtz (Manny Curtis), not Benjamin Frutchey

I just stumbled upon this after finding Manny Kurtz named in German Wikipedia, according to the English Wikipedia article on the songwriter who is mentioned as this song's lyricist not only on discogs and elsewhere, but also in an article from the commercial-free jazz radio station WICN's website (sadly available only in archived version: web.archive.org (...) wicn.org (...) in a sentimental mood 1935) as well as on notesheets like this: sheetmusicplus ... in a sentimental mood (#19578970).

And I, so far, have no idea who Mr. Frutchey is or was: apart from this mistake, is there more to discover?
