I Ain't Got Nobody Much
Per Joel Whitburn there is a 1916 recording by Marion Harris with the abovetitle. It made the US Billboard Charts (#5 - 4 weeks). It is the same song as #1 (I Ain't Got Nobody) but a different recording. I feel it should be added here. I just listened to it on aceterrier.com (an excellent site to visit!) and it is very good.
That data was already there but masked by the 1921 entry. We've changed one entry to "I Ain't Got Nobody (1917)". Thanks

I think we are both right. On Marion's Look for the Silver Lining CD is the song "Sweet Papa, Your Mam's Getting Mad"; the cd liner notes say: "originally Sweet Mamma (Papa's Getting Mad) (Fred Rose, George A. Little, Peter Frost; 1920)-No. 4 hit" K Kapral+

Error Found - Marion Harris
You have an incorrect song title listed for Marion Harris.
Your database listing: "Sweet Mama (Papa's Getting Mad)" - 1920 US Billboard 4 - Dec 1920 (6 weeks), RYM 31 of 1920 - this This song was recorded and attributed to the Original Dixieland Jass Band (ODJB) Broadway Rose/Sweet Mama (Papa's Getting Mad)/Strut, Miss Lizzie, 1920, Victor 18722 See Wikipedia, Original Dixieland Jass Band
The Correct Song title for the Marion Harris Song is "Sweet Papa, Your Mama's Getting Mad." She evidently recorded this Rose/Little/ Frost song on 8-31-1920 in New York, NY on for Columbia A3300.
I don't know if your US Billboard information is attributable to the ODJB band or to Marion Harris. I didn't research it any further.
K. Kapral
The song is listed under the Original Dixieland Jass Band as well as Marion Harris' version.
Both the original source for the Billboard data (the Bullfrog spreadsheet) and the current RYM web site list Columbia A3300 as "Sweet Mama (Papa's Getting Mad)". By seraching for "Columbia A3300" on Google we found a 78 for sale on eBay which has a picture of the label from Columbia A3300 which clearly shows the title as "Sweet Mamma (Papa's Getting Mad)" (we ignore the extra 'M' of course).
So we think your information is wrong, Marion Harris may well have recorded a song called "Sweet Papa, Your Mama's Getting Mad" but we think that is not "Columbia A3300" and it is not the song that reached number 4 in the Billboard charts.
