Title: {Elmer's Tune / The Birth Of The Blues [instrumental]}
Artist: Benny Goodman
Format: 78     Label: COLUMBIA     Cat. Num.: Co 36359     Rel. Year: 1941

NOTES:
Comments About This Issue. Columbia #36359 was Peggy Lee's debut on record. She is heard only on "Elmer's Tune"; the flip side is an instrumental. A photo of this shellac may be viewable here.

General Comment About This Discography's Singles Indexes. The first of three pages dedicated to listing Peggy Lee's singles, this index covers titles which came out on 78 only -- not on 45. All singles are listed chronologically by year of release. As for 78s whose date of release is unknown to me, they are relegated to the bottom of the page.

If you are searching for a particular USA 78 and do not find it herein, consult the second index as well. (The second index concentrates on singles which came out on both 78 and 45 configurations, rather than just on 78.) Also, bear in mind that some so-called 78 singles are instead pieces of 78 albums which, with the passing of time, became detached from their cardboard cover. As a result, they end up being unwittingly listed as singles even in specialized magazines and at record auctions. In this index, I have tried to include only authentic 78 singles, as opposed to units originally on 78 albums.

Non-American 78s have been included only when they do not have a USA counterpart. (By a "counterpart" single, I mean one with the exact same two masters. I have actually prepared separate pages for such foreign counterparts of American singles; consult this discography's Miscellanea section, here and here.) Finally, you will find notes under selected issues throughout this page; those notes are often replicated in the sessionography, sometimes in expanded versions.

Title: {I See A Million People / The Count [instrumental]}
Artist: Benny Goodman
Format: 78     Label: COLUMBIA     Cat. Num.: Co 36379     Rel. Year: 1941

NOTES:
To see one side of this 78, click here. In his book Popular Songs Of The Twentieth Century: A Charted History, Edward Foote Gardner lists three versions of "I See A Million People" that, according to his research, received airplay in 1941. This 78's Benny Goodman-Peggy Lee number is among of them, and so is a Cab Calloway interpretation. However, Joel Whitburn's Pop Memories 1890-1954 lists only Calloway's performance as making the music airplay charts.

NOTES:
"Let's Do It" and the instrumental "The Earl" were originally issued not on Columbia per se but on Columbia's subsidiary Okeh. Benny Goodman discographer D. Russell Connor categorizes the creation of Okeh as Columbia's "strategical move to counter RCA's low-priced Bluebird releases." The Okeh 78 under discussion (Ok 6474) is the earliest Goodman single issued by the subsidiary.

According to Russell Connor, "Let's Do It" was also Peggy Lee's "first big hit" with The Benny Goodman Orchestra and "a must in her repertoire for years." The bio-discographer is referring to the popularity of the number among concertgoers, in particular. The number probably enjoyed very little radio airplay, due to the suggestive bent of the lyrics. Hence it is absent from contemporaneous music charts. In short, "Let's Do It" was Lee's unofficial first hit.

A peculiarity of Okeh #6474 is that it was pressed with two different takes of "Let's Do It." One pressing contains take #2, another take #4. The pressing which features take #2 was released first, then withdrawn and replaced with take #4 pressings. The presumed motivation for that withdrawal was the lack of an audible drummer in take #2. Goodman and/or Columbia might have objected to the company's issuing of the drumless take. (Notice also that, although Columbia's cataloguing system identifies these two performances of "Let's Do It" as takes from the same matrix, 31367, the so-called takes were actually recorded at different dates, rather than during the same session.)

A photo of a Okeh #6474, probably containing take #4, can be seen here.

Title: {I Got It Bad / Pound Ridge [instrumental]}
Artist: Benny Goodman
Format: 78     Label: COLUMBIA     Cat. Num.: Co 36421     Rel. Year: 1941
03:1410/02/1941 CO 31391-1 I Got It Bad And That Ain't Good   (Duke Ellington, Paul Francis Webster)

Benny Goodman (ldr), Eddie Sauter (arr), The Benny Goodman Orchestra (acc), Benny Goodman (cl), Skip Martin, Clint Neagley (as), George Berg, Vido Musso (ts), Chuck Gentry (bar), Billy Butterfield, Al Davis, Jimmy Maxwell, Cootie Williams (t), Cutty Cutshall, Lou McGarity (tb), Tom "Tommy" Morgan (g), Morty Stuhlmaker (b), Mel Powell (p), Sid Catlett (d), Peggy Lee (v)

NOTES:
Peggy Lee's string of 70 Billboard entries began with this 78's version of the Duke Ellington's "I Got It Bad." It was actually one of the very first recordings of this eventual standard. According to Joel Whitburn's estimates in his book Pop Memories, 1890-1954, Lee's first Billboard hit appeared in the charts during the week of November 15, 1941 and peaked at #25. Her string of chart hits lasted 33 years, ending with the 1974 Atlantic master "Let's Love."

Title: {Shady Lady Bird / Buckle Down Winsocki [vocal by Tommy Dix & Chorus]}
Artist: Benny Goodman
Format: 78     Label: COLUMBIA     Cat. Num.: Co 36429 (large-type? pressing)     Rel. Year: 1941
02:4510/21/1941 CO 31426-3 Shady Lady Bird   (Ralph Blane, Hugh Martin)

Benny Goodman (ldr), Eddie Sauter (arr), The Benny Goodman Orchestra (acc), Benny Goodman (cl), Clint Neagley, Jules "Julie" Schwartz (as), George Berg, Vido Musso (ts), Chuck Gentry (bar), Billy Butterfield, Al Davis, Jimmy Maxwell (t), Cutty Cutshall, Lou McGarity (tb), Tom "Tommy" Morgan (g), Sid Weiss (b), Mel Powell (p), Ralph Collier (d), Peggy Lee (v)

NOTES:
Columbia #36429 exists in two different pressings. This pressing contains take #3, whereas the other pressing features take #1. The two pressings can be told apart by inspecting the typeface used on the song's title. In one case, it is the standard size for Columbia's typeface; in the other case, it is a smaller typeface. There is some discrepancy as to which typeface accompanies which take. According to Benny Goodman discographer Russell Connor, take #1 shows the small typeface. However, music collector Mark Takasugi tells me that his copy of the 78, in small typeface, contains take #3, as "evidenced by the 3- imprinted in the dead wax directly across from the matrix number." Since I have not been able to inspect and listen to copies of this 78, I can offer no definite explanation for this discrepancy; I am wondering if the wax of the "small typeface" 78s wrongly identify the take as #3 -- and if close listening would reveal it to be take #1. Through a secondary source, Mark also learned that, according to Benny Goodman expert Dave Jessup, take #3 was issued first, whereas take #1 was a later, erroneous (and perhaps regional) release.

NOTES:
According to Joel Whitburn's estimates in his book Pop Memories, 1890-1954, "Somebody Else Is Taking My Place" topped the Billboard charts for three consecutive weeks. Released by Columbia on its budget imprint Okeh, the smash hit entered the charts during the week of March 7, 1942. It stayed for a total of 15 weeks. It was the fourth Peggy Lee vocal to make a dent in Billboard's charts, following "I Got It Bad" and two masters that were recorded after "Somebody Else Is Taking My Place" but released before. (Also, peceding "I Got It Bad" and all the other performances mentioned, there was also "Let's Do It," a popular number among concertgoers, though not a chart hit.)

Years after its 15 aforementioned weeks in the chart, "Somebody Else Is Taking My Place" managed the feat of re-entering them in the form of a new 78 single. Look below for a 1948 Columbia single which pairs this song with "Why Don't You Do Right?".

Title: {Winter Weather / Ev'rything I Love)
Artist: Benny Goodman
Format: 78     Label: COLUMBIA's Okeh     Cat. Num.: Ok 6516     Rel. Year: 1941

NOTES:
This 78 actually exists in two pressings. Shown in this entry and in this link is the official pressing, which pairs "Winter Weather" with "Ev'rything I Love." The other version of the 78 pairs "Winter Weather" with a vocal by Tommy Tucker ("I Don't Want To Walk Without You"); its release is deemed to have been an error on the part of Columbia's brass.

There is some discrepancy as to the year in which Okeh #6516 was released, 1941 or 1942. I have tentatively assigned it a 1941 date because it was reviewed in the January 3, 1942 issue of Billboard magazine. (I am assuming that, by the time of the magazine's publication date, the 78 had been out at least for a few days.)

According to Joel Whitburn, the Goodman-Lee-Lund version of "Winter Weather" made its debut in the charts during the week of January 10, 1942 and peaked at #24.

NOTES:
In his book Pop Memories 1890-1954, Joel Whitburn identifies "Blues In The Night" as Peggy Lee's third chart hit. After entering the charts during the week of February 14, 1942, it peaked at #20. For a look at the "Blues In The Night" side of Ok 6553, click here.

NOTES:
Both sides of this 78 can be seen here. "My Little Cousin" was Peggy Lee's fifth chart hit. After making its debut during the week of April 11, 1942, it went on to peak at #14. Joel Whitburn's Pop Memories 1890-1954 does not list any other charting versions of the song.

NOTES:
A popular warhorse, "We'll Meet Again" enjoyed a fair number of hit versions. According to Joel Whitburn's estimates in his book Pop Memories, 1890-1954, the version by Goodman and Lee made its debut during the week of May 23, 1942 and was the highest-charting of them all, peaking at #16.

NOTES:
The "Why Don't You Do Right?" side of this 78 should be viewable here. The Billboard debut of "Why Don't You Do Right?" took place during the week of January 2, 1943. According to Joel Whitburn's Pop Memories, 1890-1954, the Goodman-and-Lee recording peaked at #4 and spent a total of 19 weeks in the charts.

NOTES:
According to Joel Whitburn's estimates in his book Pop Memories, 1890-1954, this version of "How Deep Is The Ocean?" appeared in the charts during the week of October 6, 1945 and peaked at #19. Released a couple of years after Lee had left the bandleader's fold, it belatedly became her 10th charting success as Goodman's canary.

The label on the "My Old Flame" side of this 78 suffers from an oversight: Peggy Lee's name is not given at all.

(Whitburn's estimates notwithstanding, the proven popularity of this recording strongly suggests that it must have cracked the top 10, at the very least. At any rate, "It's A Good Day" was played and covered often in radio shows of the time, and thereafter it remained current for decades -- not only on radio but also on records and TV variety shows.)

NOTES:
The "Mañana" side of this 78 should be viewable here.

"Mañana" made its chart debut during the week of January 24, 1948 and was the first of Peggy Lee's 9 chart entries for that year. It was also one of the top hits of 1948 and one of the year's million sellers -- a 2.5 million seller, according to uncorroborated press reports from the period. As tabulated by Joel Whitburn in Pop Memories 1890-1954, the song is shown as remaining for nine weeks in the #1 position and for twenty-one weeks in the Billboard charts. Billboard also named it Top Disc Jockey Record Of The Year.

Both sides of Capitol #15022 charted. "All Dressed Up With A Broken Heart" made its debut during the week of January 31, 1948 and peaked at #21.

In its British counterpart version (Capitol Cl 13001), this 78 became the first single ever released by Capitol in England.

It debuted in the Billboard charts during the week of February 28 and reached #25. "For Every Man There's A Woman" also added to the string of hits that Goodman and Lee had had together (all previous nine on Columbia Records).

NOTES:
This 78 reissued Lee's two most popular numbers from her years as a canary with Benny Goodman. One of the factors that probably triggered Columbia to re-release these performances was the success that Capitol had had, a few months earlier, with the Goodman-Lee track "For Every Man There's A Woman" (Capitol #15030).

On this second round, the former #1 hit "Somebody Else Is Taking My Place" peaked at #30 after making its return on the music charts during the week of June 19, 1948 (according, once again, to Whitburn's estimates). Both sides of the 78 should be viewable here.

"Somebody Else Is Taking My Place" thus holds the distinction of being not only Lee and Goodman's only #1 hit collaboration but also their final joint chart entry.

Ara #114 was released twice, in partially different versions. The earliest version features Peggy Lee on both sides. This second version substitutes her rendition of "It's Anybody's Spring" with an instrumental by The "Porky" Freeman Trio ("On The Night Train To Memphis"). The reason for the partial re-release of Ara #114, although hypothetical explanations can of course be advanced.

Further complicating matters is the fact that this second version (Lee / Freeman Trio) exists in two variants. The differences between the variants are very minor, however. Font size: one variant uses the same font as the first version of Ara #114, whereas the other variant uses a smaller font. Another difference pertains to the typography of the Warren-Mercer song on the label of the 78s. The large font version gives it as "Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe" (coinciding, once again, with the first version of Ara #114), whereas the small font version calls it "On The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe."
