Please add people by first name (e.g. put "Paul McCartney" under "P")! Songwriters and composers of non-classical music should also be added here.

Requests should now be listed under the appropriate time period. Please list the artist or band under the decade in which they first became popular, if they fall into more than one of the time periods.

Pre-1950

Note: It may be appropriate to make your pre-1950 request at Wikipedia:Requested articles/music/Classical composers.

  • Adolphe Schlösser - wrote the hymn "He That Keepeth Israel"
  • Cousin Emmy -Late '40s appalachain folk singer and Hollywood actress from Kentucky. best known for writing 'Come all You West Virginia Gals' and for inspiring Grandpa Jones.
  • Cuthbert Nunn - Translated Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella from French to English
  • Esco Hankins (1 Jan 1914 - 18 Nov 1990) - Country performer associated with Roy Acuff. Most famous for recordings of All The World Is Lonely Now and Rising Sun (better known now as The House of the Rising Sun). He had a group called Esco Hankins & the Smokey Mountain Boys. He recorded on King Records 1947-1948, and then on Mercury Records under the name Roscoe Hankins. This information is from the liner notes to the The British Archive of Country Music CD ESCO HANKINS Rising Sun.
  • Johnny Vadnal -1923-2008 Cleveland's Polka King- internationally known musician and composer
  • Narciso Parigi - 1927- Italian singer and actor; among other things, he is well-known in Italy for singing the ACF Fiorentina football team anthem

  • Herman Darewski (1883–1947), British conductor, composer and publisher, and his brother (?) Max Darewski. I suppose that most wikipedia search hits on Darewski point to the music printed/copyrighted by their publishing company.
