[78-L] Swingin' Shepherd Blues

[RAY KILCOYNE]

From: "Julian Vein"
> Just been playing bassist Jimmy Woode's Argo LP-630 ("The Colorful
> Strings Of Jimmy Woode"), recorded September 2, 1957. The tune "The Man
> From Potter's Crossing" sounds very much like "Swingin' Shepherd
> Blues", credited to Woode. Moe Koffman's version on Jubilee was recorded
> February 7, 1957.
>
> It was a big hit, so I wonder how Woode managed to get away with this?

Where does the Johnny Pate Quintet version fit in?  It charted one week 
earlier than Koffman's.
