Moved back to (actor)

Hi User:Loginnigol, I have undone your move to Bill Hayes (entertainer), as it doesn't appear to fit WP:CRITERIA 2 Naturalness, and is a decrease in recognisability and precision. But by all means please feel free to submit a RM. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:10, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is this the same Billy Hayes mentioned in the entry for "Blue Christmas"?

The following is from the Wikipedia entry Blue Christmas. "Blue Christmas" is a Christmas song written by Billy Hayes and Jay W. Johnson and most famously performed by Elvis Presley. There is no link between that entry and this entry. I believe it is the same person and if anyone can find a definitive source we should add this to Billy Hayes' credits.

Somewhat late in a reply, but it is not the same individual. Discogs, not a reliable source, (but I could not be bothered to search elsewhere) states :

American country composer, author and guitarist. Born on February 17, 1906 in New York City, NY – died on August 12, 1993 in Brooklyn, NY. He joined ASCAP in 1948, and his chief musical collaborators included Jay Johnson and Milton Leeds. His most known composition is "Blue Christmas". Also co-wrote "Tomorrow's Just Another Day To Cry" with Rosalie Allen. Often associated with the publisher R.F.D. Music. Not to be confused with US composer Billy Hays (1920/30s) or US country songwriter Bill Hayes (14). - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 22:17, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
