thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Federa2.jpg

message: It looks like this article contradicts itself, I know nothing of the topic and can't improve it, but the article starts out saying the song was a  "highly successful and influential rhythm and blues (R&B) record" and "It is regarded as one of the most important of the recordings which helped generate and shape rock and roll." Then under "legacy" we have "Ultimately "Sixty Minute Man" remained a novelty song" and "did not contribute significantly to the merging of pop music and R&B."

thread_title: Legacy or no legacy?

message: Vocalist Bill Brown was 15 years old when he sang the song? He sounds like he was 50 when I listen to the song. We need to have an article on him. 2600:1008:B002:D9B3:F168:9B68:B9CA:38EA (talk) 02:53, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be great to have an article on him - if only we could find the information.  There is very little about him online, and confusion even over when he died - some say 1956, others say 2004.  The absence of information suggests that he might struggle to meet the notability criteria for a separate article.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:26, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

message: The article contains no reference to the meaning of the title and lyric, "sixty-minute man".  As I understand it, this referred to an American football player from the era before free substitution who played "both sides of the ball", offense and defense, for all sixty minutes of the game clock.  I don't know where to find a source though.  But if anyone does, would be a nice addition. --Trovatore (talk) 04:17, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

message: Under legacy this article uses the term "coon music".  Surely this is a racist vandalism edit.  I don't know anything about editing wikipedia, but surely someone who sees this can fix this article.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.159.203.179 (talk) 04:24, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I doubt that it's a "racist vandalism edit." "Coon song" is, for better or worse one of those terms that has a valid use in a historic context. Nevertheless, I'll try to see if the authors of the cited reference actually used that exact term, unless someone else knows. Steve Pastor (talk)
I have a copy of the cited material, and not only is the term "coon song" not used, there are other inaccuracies in the sentence containing this term. I've already made an edit to reflect this. Steve Pastor (talk) 20:02, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
