"Johnny Parth" as "songwriter", this is outright ridiculous! Austrian Johnny Parth's the founder/owner of Roots Records, Document Records, et al., was born December 12, 1923 in Vienna, Austria and thus wouldn't be in the position of "writing" any blues in 1934 in New York City --- must be a mix-up with possible (rebuilt) copyright info in some LP/CD liner notes ...

I originated this article in October 2011, and back then I must have found Parth's name somewhere. For instance, his name is quoted by
AllMusichere relating to "I'm Missing That Thing". Equally, AllMusic cite Parth's name extensively
here. However, I will happily bow to your superior knowledge, and have duly removed his name from the song writing credits. Not many ten year old songwriters around, that is for sure ! No malice intended - there are four separate sources given for the discography section.
Dear Derek, I do remember your name from my own active time period here at Wikipedia and appreciate your constant and thorough contributions, but one thing sure is a riddle to me, and that is how on earth anybody can take allmusic.com as a reliable source (though *formally*, as by the Wiki rules, it might be): During the last more than 20 years that I keep tingling my discographies and thus working my way into those artist's musical output, I not once did find allmusic.com as an exhaustive source -- au contraire: it is full of faults and I heard enough stories of budding discographers trying - mostly in vain - to convince the there good folks to change one of those faults. I heartily would encourage everyone to use (as I do) the *original* works, when it comes to building a discography or to quote dates / personnel of recordings, as there are:
- Robert M.W. Dixon, John Godrich & Howard W. Rye: Blues & Gospel Records 1890 - 1943.- Oxford (Clarendon), 4th ed. 1997
- Bob Eagle & Eric S. LeBlanc: Blues - A Regional Experience.- Santa Barbara (Praeger Publishers) 2013
- Les Fancourt & Bob McGrath: The Blues Discography 1943 - 1970 (2nd edition).- Vancouver 2012
- Robert Ford: A Blues Bibliography, 2nd Edition (Routledge Music Bibliographies) 2007
- Robert Ford & Bob McGrath: The Blues Discography 1971 - 2000 [the later years].- Vancouver 2011
- Bob McGrath: The R&B Indies - Volumes One to Four.- West Vancouver BC (Eyeball Productions) (2nd ed. 2005 to 2007)
- Tony Russell: Country Music Records - A Discography, 1921-1942.- Oxford (Oxford University Press), 2004)
