Talk:Tryin' to Get to You

{{WikiProject Songs|class=stub | needs-infobox=no}

Why The Animals?
Why is the Animals' lesser-known version the point of reference here? This song is far better known through Elvis Presley's version recorded at Sun in '55.

As a rough guide, try googling the artists + titles: "the animals" + "trying to get to you" gets about 13,000 results, "the animals" + "trying To get you" under 1,000; "elvis presley" + "trying to get to you" gets around 48,000 results. Lyn50 (talk) 07:45, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Charlie Singleton: same writer as "Strangers in the Night"?
An anonymous update, without verifiable sources, removed my previous update where I claimed there were two Charlie Singletons, songwriters. If the two Charlie Singletons are the same, this does need to be included, but it should be properly sourced. I recognise that my single source (an All Music Guide entry) could be wrong, I'll remove my claim and look into it, hoping to find verifiable sources one way or the other.Lyn50 (talk) 23:00, 12 October 2011 (UTC)


 * This does indeed appear to be the same Charlie Singleton who co-wrote "Strangers In The Night" and other hits, if my reading of BMI Repertoire is correct. "Tryin' To Get To You" and "Strangers in the Night" appear on separate listings for a Charles Singleton at BMI Repertoire, but both Charles Singletons have the CAE/IPI number 40561413, indicating that they are the one composer holding two seaparate accounts (BMI faq: The same writer may have more than one account set up with BMI - used for internal processing.)
