re Vaughn Horton

[edit]

I'm writing a Wikipedia article on Horton, and I made some changes here. First, Horton did not have a part in writing the original "Mule Skinner Blues" - he would have been about 20 at the time Rodgers wrote it - but apparently he updated and sanitized the lyrics in 1950 for Bill Monroe and has been credited on it since, perhaps regardless of whether his changes were used. (Unclear to me.) Second, Darling and Horton's "Address Unknown" is a different song than the one by the Ink Spots - it just has the same title. "Address Unknown" was the B-side to Gene Autry's single "Don't Hang Around Me Anymore", which went to #4 in 1945. Some other other artists, like Hank Snow, ended up recording the Darling/Horton/Autry "Address Unknown", but it never hit the charts, afaik. Mockin' Bird Hill was not Horton's first songwriting hit, it was recorded in 1950, well after "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie" and "Don't Hang Around Me Anymore".

  • In the list of songs by Horton I have substituted "Sugar-Foot Rag", a 1949 hit song by Hank Garland and Horton that also charted on a cover by Jerry Reed in 1979, for "Dixie Cannonball", which as far as I can tell is best known today as a fairly obscure early Hank Williams recording, issued years after his death. I'm not sure why it was being held up as a success for Horton here. Gene Autry, who also got a writing credit on "Dixie Cannonball", put it out as a B-side in 1947.Brianyoumans (talk) 16:43, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
