*this list was compiled by Elston Brooks from his book "I?ve Heard Those Songs Before"
by Morrow Quill paperbacks, New York (1981).The book only lists the song titles.I
provided the artists by referring to Joel Whitburn's 1986 book-Pop Memories 1890-1954.
I chose the recording act that had the most successful version of the song.
