In the last year, I have worked on improving and correcting pages relating to music from the first half of the 20th Century. My initial focus was on Country-Hillbilly music from 1930s and 1940s. Our "Year In Country Music" for 1928-1943 was in sad shape, presumably because few music charts exist for that period. I have been studying this for many years, and applied my research. I searched everywhere for reliable sources of information, finding partners at the Discography of American Historical Recordings at UCSB. Our page for 1931 had three songs, it now has 21, most ranked with sales info from Sony's Archives. Since middle and high school days, I have been fascinated with popular music, records, and the types of media that followed it. When I say popular music, I mean it to include Country, Jazz, Blues, Gospel. I took the bus to Lincoln Center in New York City to study Billboard and CashBox. My computer has spread sheets and documents on all the stuff I write about.

Category Is Lacking[edit source] Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion Just my two-cents worth of advice. Autry either wrote, co-wrote or bought (couldn't resist!) well over 100 songs, and of the six we devote this category page to, we have left out two important compositions. "Be Honest With Me", according to my calculations, was the 2nd biggest "Hillbilly" hit of 1941, behind "You Are My Sunshine". "Tweed-O-Twill is likewise the #2 hit of 1942, behind "There's A Star Spangled Banner" by Elton Britt. Both songs were co-written with Fred Rose. Just because Billboard didn't start it's chart until 1944 is no reason to overlook the prior five years, when a lot of good information was published in columns and small charts. I might be off by a position or two with my data, but not by much, and those two records are as worthy as the movie songs we listed. Thank you for reading.Tillywilly17 (talk) 18:06, 16 July 2021 (UTC)Reply Category: Category-Class song articles
