Info wanted (moved from article proper)[edit]

Vaughan Monroe: With George Shearing in Rochester, NY. If anybody heard them, sometime in the early fifties, please contact Wikipedia. I cannot remember the name of the Hotel (gone now) but there was a Quarry by the same name out in Fairport. Ring a bell ? Somebody

Voice Category[edit]

May I ask what citation is used to determine his vocal type? Surely he is a bass, not a baritone? XBiophagex (talk) 19:39, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Red vs. Blue titles[edit]

Some of the songs listed are in blue font, while some are in red font. What is the distinction? Surprisingly, the article doesn’t mention this… 2601:152:4F01:35D0:8D22:A17:E0A7:8BDC (talk) 01:07, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Blue type indicates a link to an article about that topic in Wikipedia. If you click a blue link, the click should take you to the appropriate article. Red type indicates that an editor marked the words as a link but no article by that name exists in Wikipedia. That pattern applies throughout Wikipedia, not just in this article.

The enduring popularity of "Ballerina"[edit]

I don't know how one would go about providing the required citations for this, but I just want to register how incredibly prominent "Ballerina" was. For instance, I was amazed to find it was recorded in 1947; I thought for sure it must have been the early 50s, not just because of the modern feel of the song, but because it was totally pervasive on the radio all through that decade and into the next. I think the last time I heard it on the radio was on a "golden oldies" weekend on a pop-inclined rock radio station in Vancouver in 1964, when the earliest recording other than this that they would have considered playing would have been from about 1955. Its radio airplay on lots of stations far outlasted any other recording from that vintage, including major offerings of much newer 50s radio fixtures such as Guy Mitchell and that sort of pop stuff. It seemed to be on permanent high rotation, perhaps indicative of persistent requests. This from personal experience, listening to radio across western Canada and the northwestern states from 1955 onward. Perhaps there is some resourcce that could be cited which could reflect this, if such records still exist. 2001:56A:F0E9:9B00:48B3:618D:1A44:B330 (talk) 11:35, 15 October 2023 (UTC)JustSomeWikiReader[reply]
