*the 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.
In Elston Brooks book the charts he post after April 13,1935 are identical to those
posted on the "Your Hit Parade" charts."Your Hit Parade" weekly charts from April 20,1935
to the end of 1959 can be found elsewhere on this website.
