|---|
| Johnson and Shirley notes that the vocalist on this selection was previously identified as Eddie Walters but that the file cards "clearly credit" the selection to Milt Coleman. Also noted: "It is not known where the claim of Walters' presence originated unless Eddie Walters is a pseudonym for Milto Coleman or vice versa, or an aural misidentification." |
