I'm interested in any info as to these 2 concepts together. Feedback about the poem and why the author wrote it,what he had in mind, the realtionsonship if any to the song and/or his means would be extremlly helpful and appreciated. Pamela
I can find no reference work that backs up the claim that "Frankie and Johnny" is better known as "Frankie and Albert". I have therefore reverted the page move. In any event, this is the title under which the song is most widely known, therefore it should be kept here, with a redirect at Frankie and Albert for the 5 people on the planet who might look it up under that title. 23skidoo 14:56, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Hughie Cannon's version "He done her wrong" lyrics was the first to be used in theatre production of Frankie and Johnny. Musicologists are not in complete agreement of it's origin but Hughie Cannon's version goes back the furthest. Ben Leighton did not write a version of the lyrics of Frankie and Johnny but he did a music score version of the song. Another lyricist Ren Shield has been contributed as the original lyricist of the song. But seems at present Cannon's version is most easily traceable one. It would be nice if some expert in field of old music can come with once & for all original lyricist of this song. Pjt48 ( talk) 16:12, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps I don't understand what the infobox implies, but at present it says that the record was published in 1904. It then says "Original artist: Mississippi John Hurt (1928) Recorded by: Charlie Patton (1929)." If it was published in 1904, then what are those dates in the 20s? It's not their dates of births. If Hurt and Patton are the originals from 1904, then the 20s dates should be removed for clarity if for no other reason. So! I'm deleting that part. MagnoliaSouth ( talk) 20:39, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
In the article's appropriate section I have reinstated a photo of a cabaret group performing the song on a well known New York stage, having had it in it's repertoire for many years. SergeWoodzing ( talk) 00:05, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Since she played half of the title characters should not Donna Douglas have equal mention with Elvis Presley in the reference to the film? 213.205.242.19 ( talk) 18:31, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
