[78-L] R&B Info

[Han Enderman]

Credit for Smiley Lewis' Real Gone Lover on Imp 5349 is "(Bartholomew, Durand & Robichaux)".
I think that the quotation "Writing credits are sometimes just Dave Bartholomew"
refers to later LP recordings of the tune, merely quoting the best-remembered composer.

In the 1994 postwar blues dg (Leadbitter et al.) Joe Robichaux is listed for the 11 Nov 54 session
(+ Bartholomew-tp, others unk.).
What personnel given in the last (current) issue of the post-war blues discography? Possibly
the one quoted below?
