Big Maybelle Quittin' Time Rojac 118 issue

[ricticman]

Have seen Quittin' Time credited to writers ' J.Taylor - F Briggs ' [ mine for example ].

And others with writing credits just to ' J.Taylor '.

 

Assume both legit, both issued more or less at the same time ??

 

Thanks for any guidance. ^{And please no Steve Wright inspired jokes about  ' Quittin', no G '}

The guys associated with the label would usually take part of the writing credits (& hence royalties) as part of the deal to release their artists records. Even the likes of Berry Gordy would take part credits on songs that he only got them to change 2/3 words on.

BTW, didn't realise this till a short while back BUT Big Maybelle was performing on the road as far back as the 40's -- back then she was featured singer with Gene Popes Genial Gentlemen !!  After all those years of hardship on the road, it's no wonder she had some bad habits by the late 60's.
