Edit summary

Infobox added regarding the 1937 single. While the movie version of the song might have been recorded and filmed in 1935 as a previous writer stated (a matter best discussed in Waikiki Wedding), the hit single was recorded in 1937 as stated in the infobox (with reference). Placed the previous writer's reference just before the point where the text has been changed. Changed a category from "1935 songs" to "1937 songs" and added the category "Bing Crosby songs." Started to add category "Songs written by Harry Owens" until a preview revealed that no such category exists (also tried other variants). Will try to determine whether any other Harry Owens songs are the subject of articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Preservationist957 (talk • contribs) 17:19, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Other versions section added, other minor additions

Versions: One criterion for inclusion or exclusion was whether or not a Wikipedia article currently exists on the artist. At least one example was excluded because the music sample at Allmusic sounded dreadful (won't say who). A longer list of albums could be compiled, but might not be any more useful. If the list was much longer, it would need to be alphabetical by artist rather than chronological. The short list of compilations is alphabetical, since the release dates of compilations have little historical significance.

Infobox: Modified genre again, and added a Misc link to Lani McIntyre. Originally intended to put the word "With" in boldface before the link, but it seems to work better as part of the piped link.

Also added a sentence about the 1938 film Cocoanut Grove. Preservationist957 (talk) 16:36, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Added image of sheet music cover that I strongly believe qualifies as "fair use." Preservationist957 (talk) 11:47, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bing Crosby not the original recording artist

Added a sentence regarding Sol Hoopii's earlier version. According to the first cited source, "Leilani" was recorded 2/16/1936. Other sources give 10/6/1935, which is why the added sentence contains no specific date for the time being. As explained in Academy Award for Best Original Song, the Academy had no rule requiring nominated songs to be "original and written specifically for the film" until 1941, so there is nothing scandalous about this addition. Hoopii's version was reissued by Columbia Records (35526), and the editor has listened to that reissue and confirmed that "Leilani" and "Sweet Leilani" are the same song. Unfortunately, Allmusic doesn't list Hoopii's version; but second cited source has an image of "Leilani" sheet music cover published in 1936, "words & music by Harry Owens."
