Should this be reformatted? edit
After having looked at the articles for "year" in music, as well as articles for "year" in R&B, "year" in country, etc. I am thinking that the article simply saying "year" in music as far as recorded music goes should include the top 5-10 "pop" hits of the year with a link to more descriptive article including all the Top 10 hits, "notable" recordings, etc. as well as sections for top 5-10 R&B hits and link to full article, etc. As it stands, these articles seem to assert that "pop" is the only music that matters in a given year but adding all the content from the articles focused on other genres of music within that given year will make the article unwieldy and overlong. Does anyone else feel that the articles simply saying (year) in music should be a general overview of the very top hits of the respective genres with spinoff articles detailing the individual genres in depth?

RE: "It's Funny To Everyone But Me" edit
What is the difference between the 1939 Jack Lawrence song "It's Funny To Everyone But Me" and the 1934 Franklin and Jones version?
I have a Sinatra CD and the composer info was messed up, so I wanted to add it, and all I have is the lyrics, see: "It's Funny To Everyone But Me" at Jumbo Jimbo's. But, I need someone who knows the difference to confirm if it is correct.
Okay, hope somebody knows.

- The Frank Sinatra recording with the Harry James band is the Jack Lawrence song.

- It looks like the lyrics are different, very similar, but different. I would like to hear the melody. "People are laughing, I hear them laughing, I'm just the biggest joke in town. Oh, how you fooled me."
