I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles
Should be credited to Gordon Jenkins & Artie Shaw - it also reached #14 in the US Best sellers a 3 week run (September 1950)
Data fixed, thanks

#6-So Long(It's Been Good to Know Ya)
This recording should be credited to Gordon Jenkins & The Weavers. Also it made the Billboard charts (#4-14 weeks).
Data fixed, thanks

When a Man is Free
B side of a one of the better-sellers. When a Man is Free. I THINK I can remember ALL the lyrics, but one line doesn't sound quite right. I've tried "Googling," but keep coming up empty. Ideas ?

This was a joint recording with the Weavers. It was also a #2 Billboard Hit.
You are correct, but this is one of those hard ones. The credit for Decca 27077 in the Billboard chart is to "Weavers (Gordon Jenkins & His Orchestra)", so our decision is to credit all versions to "Gordon Jenkins & The Weavers" rather than either "Gordon Jenkins" or "The Weavers".
Thanks for pointing out the issue

I'd like to believe Gordon Jenkins (13) and The Weavers (20) joined together on Goodnight Irene. Points should be combined. I even think it was the biggest selling single of 1950 worldwide.
Yes, you are correct the song was a joint effort. Thanks for the correction
Personally I suspect that it was the second best selling song of 1950 after Patti Page's version of "Tennessee Waltz" (but of course given the lack of validated charts you could well be right)
