[edit]Where did the composer credit for "Underneath the Harlem Moon" come from? My copy of the liner notes to this Reprise CD credit "De Sylva, Brown & Henderson - ASCAP". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.127.94.7 (talk) 15:26, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Previously recorded songs
[edit]I'm leaving this material here. All of it is demonstrably true, relevant, and easily checkable, but the sources that were given did not satisfy a particular user. Perhaps others can come up with sources that will do the trick.

As with all of Newman's early albums, several of its songs had been previously recorded by other artists. In this case, "Mama Told Me Not To Come" had originally been recorded in 1967 by Eric Burdon, and that same year The Beau Brummels released their version of "My Old Kentucky Home". Three other songs originally appeared in versions by other artists just a few months prior to the LP release of 12 Songs: "Yellow Man" by Harry Nilsson on his February, 1970 album Nilsson Sings Newman; "Have You Seen My Baby" by Fats Domino (as a 1969 single); and "Let's Burn Down The Cornfield" by Lou Rawls (the b-side to his 1970 R&B hit "You've Made Me So Very Happy").Everyone But You (talk) 19:41, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
- Just because something is true doesn't make it notable for inclusion in an article (WP:IKNOWITSTRUE). Third-party sources help establish notability. Without them, we're left with primary sources and an editor's opinion on why this is important and not trivia. Dan56 (talk) 19:53, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
When was this album released?
[edit]Article says April 1970, but box says February 1970. At least one of them is wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.29.198.129 (talk) 15:10, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
