Taylor,
I think Van Alexander was born Al(exander) Feldman, not Fielding. One of 
his first hits was "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" for Chick Webb and Ella 
Fitzgerald in 1938. I don't have the record any longer (Decca 1840), but 
I think early pressings show Al Fedman and Ella Fitzgerald as composers.

Erskine Butterfield's version Vocalion 4243 shows "Fitzgerald-Feldman"
Tommy Dorsey HMV B.8824 same.
Willie Farmer Bluebird B-7687 "Ella Fitzgerald - Al Feldman".
Chick Webb Brunswick 02614 "Feldman, Fitzgerald".
