- Um, so what? "Les Feuilles Mort" is a French song. "Autumn Leaves" is an American song with a French melody, or a French song with American lyrics, but regardless, hyphenates are American.

In the list of songs, the credits for "Can't We Be Friends" is incorrect. It should list Kay Swift as COMPOSER and Paul James as LYRICIST, not vice versa. Refer to the Wikipedia page for the song for confirmation.
