For my radio show I try to find some information on Helen Humes' song 
Suspicious Blues that she did back in 1944 for the Savoy label.  What 
I wonder is the backing orchestra - according to a 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_lB-CTdwGM>you tube clip it was 
with Leonard Feather's hiptet; the 
<http://www.78discography.com/Sav5500.htm>Savoy page on the online 78 
discography project mentions the band of Herbie Fields and credit the 
composition to Leonard Feather.  Now normally I tend to find other 
sources more reliable than what users write with the youtube clips 
they upload, but the 78 discography project pages are notorious - at 
least with me - for their inaccuracies (oops what am I saying now).

Anyone who can tell me which source is right?

Thanks in advance,
