Talk:Lovesick Blues

message: The CD for the Alex Chilton live album credits the song to "Horton Vaughn." Presumably meaning songwriter Vaughn Horton, aka George Vaughn Horton. I see there was already some discussion about confusion or controversy re the proper songwriting credit. Anyone have a source that explains why the song would be credited to "Horton Vaughn"?

message: I personally believe it should be added that the streams for the Hank Williams version of this song in 2018 increased by 2452% due to a popular meme including it, while referencing the meme itself (something like a usage in popular culture or commericial performance subsection under the Hank Williams version?). Thoughts? --Aleccat 06:17, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Aleccat.  This is all good to know and I'll work on it ASAP unless someone else gets to it first, or perhaps you want to add it?  I'm largely responsible for our Yodeling article and I've watched the article views spike to around 5,000 a day due to this kid.  He's been added to the yodeling article but I'll use some of this info to add more.  Gandydancer (talk) 18:42, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

text: Using Rolling Stone I added some info to the Yodeling article.  I'm going to open up a new header here and add basically what I put at the Yodeling article (including the Wikipedia views info - skating on thin ice, I know...), for a start.  I certainly would appreciate any feedback...am I over-reacting to this event?, for example.  BTW, even the Miller article views spiked, and in my experience clickable names/events don't as a rule get clicked... Thoughts?  Gandydancer (talk) 20:09, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

message: Mason has just released a debut solo song - he now has over 800 thousand Spotify listeners. I think he is worthy of his own wiki page - perhaps we should merge the info about him in this page with a new page about him. Greenleader(2) (talk) 18:44, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. I believe he is notable enough for his wiki article. –Wefk423 (talk) 07:52, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

message: According to author Colin Escott, it was agreed that Mills and Acuff-Rose would share the publishing of Williams' recording. Mills later gained the rest of the rights to the song when he purchased Friend's rights effective June 22, 1951.
but I found this quote
https://www.songfacts.com/facts/hank-williams/lovesick-blues
The young singer could only record songs published by Acuff-Rose, so Williams told Fred Rose that he had purchased the rights to "Lovesick Blues" from his drinking companion Rex Griffin. However they weren't his to sell and Acuff-Rose had to deal with a very cross co-writer Cliff Friend who did own the rights. "Fred Rose published it, but I had the copyright," Friend recalled. "When Williams' record hit the market, I flew to Nashville and took all the money, since I was also the publisher."
I added some copyright info which is from US Copyright office, but don't know about the rest Tillywilly17 (talk) 23:02, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mills retained the rest of rights to the song as he had also purchased Friend's rights during the Great Depression.
