Definitely a core jazz standard, but we'll eliminate because French composers originally --Johnny Mercer, adding the English lyrics in a later version?[[User:Dogru144|Dogru144]] ([[User talk:Dogru144|talk]]) 00:20, 20 March 2023 (UTC) |

:Um, so what? "Les Feuilles Mort" is a French song. "Autumn Leaves" is an American song with a French melody, or a French song with American lyrics, but regardless, hyphenates are American. But then, there are no standards for this stupid article, just "some editor thinks a song qualifies for it."

::I concede that you're right. "Autumn Leaves" is a classic standard. So, good point.[[User:Dogru144|Dogru144]] ([[User talk:Dogru144|talk]]) 19:49, 20 January 2024 (UTC) |

I was trying to figure something out, and I think I see what's going on here. I have a CD of "The Great American Songbook, Volume 1", by the original artists (I think). I was trying to make a list of the songs and artists, because I have lost that. But anyone can cover these songs and many of them are in the public domain. So, if you want the original music that was a hit way back when, you might be out of luck, because you'll get Rod Stewart or Ringo Starr instead of Frank Sinatra etc. It's the songs themselves, not the great versions of those songs that made them famous, that are important. When "Wild Thing", originally by the Troggs, is included in this list, any bar band's version of it will be acceptable. :-) [[User:Wastrel Way|Wastrel Way]] ([[User talk:Wastrel Way|talk]]) Eric [[User:Wastrel Way|Wastrel Way]] ([[User talk:Wastrel Way|talk]]) 22:26, 12 December 2024 (UTC) |

In the list of songs, the credits for "Can't We Be Friends" is incorrect. It should list Kay Swift as COMPOSER and Paul James as LYRICIST, not vice versa. Refer to the Wikipedia page for the song for confirmation. |
