If somebody could explain the musical structure of "Sitting on Top of the World" it would enhance this article. Apparently the chordal structure is I-I7-IV-iv(or bVI)-I-V7-I-I(or V7). However, this would need to be explained in layman's terms if possible. I got the chordal structure details from Song Genealogy from "Sittin' On Top Of The World" Ikeshut 01:05, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Melody sounds to me like it comes from Jelly Roll Morton's "I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say," it appears at 1:35 and again at the end of the song Mhults7791 ( talk) 03:33, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
In this video shot by Alan Lomax, Sam claims he has written the song? He was a part of the Mississippi Sheiks too. How come he is not mentioned in the article? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuFEzckDQBs
I have searched for a cover version by Big Bill Broonzy mentioned in the third paragraph, but could not find anything and strongly suspect this was an error. Preservationist957 ( talk) 23:31, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
It's is not under Broonzy's name, but with his Band Harum Scarums and was recorded for Paramount 13030-B [1] as the other titles of the group. It is out of print on rereleases for years, but it exists. Mortonharley ( talk) 12:12, 17 June 2020 (UTC) [2] [3]
