"Sid Peltyn" (if he existed as such...?!) was the nominal "leader" of the 
"house
band" that cut many pop tunes for the Bluebird label...! As you note,a 
number
of names were given credit on the "BB group"...IIRC, I once knew someone
who knew all the applicable data, but that was MANY years ago...!!
