You guys are doing a great job here.Had no idea how big some songs were. Well,they were before my time. So what, the music was great!

Deep Purple
Deep Purple/Fate was recorded February, 1939, so it should be listed as 1939
But the "Your Hit Parade" chart listed it as 1938, hence it is listed as 1938.
