Talk:Saint Louis Blues (song)

message: The title in apostrophies 'Saint Louis Blues' is very awkward, I think.  See my comment in Talk:St. Louis Blues for my proposed rearrangement/renaming of this and related pages. -- Infrogmation 18:53, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: As you can see above, I'm requesting a move back to "St. Louis Blues (song)" per Wikipedia:Naming_conventions#Album_titles_and_band_names. For further explanation and discussion see here. InnocuousPseudonym 06:25, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The fact that it has been recorded in instrumental versions does not make it any less of a song. It was written and published with lyrics (quite famous ones, actually). "(composition)" is generally reserved for works without lyrics. Have a look at :Category:Jazz standards and its subcategories for a sense of the lay of the land and see the naming conventions page linked above.  InnocuousPseudonym 17:21, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The article doesn't claim that Handy was born in Memphis, only that it was his "home town", and he definitely lived and worked there from 1909 onwards. /FredrikT (talk) 09:44, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

message: "Handy said he had been inspired by a chance meeting with a woman on the streets of St. Louis, Missouri, distraught over her husband's absence, who lamented, 'Ma man's got a heart like a rock cast in de sea,' a key line of the song. Handy's autobiography recounts his hearing the tune in St. Louis in 1892: 'It had numerous one-line verses and they would sing it all night.'"
If the foregoing is true, then W.C. Handy deserves no credit for this song. 2603:7000:B23E:33EE:B0FB:DCC2:6287:ED20 (talk) 14:13, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
