That's a great recording. It is of course, one of countless performances by a great number of notable artists. Is this one example of exceptional note (and if so, whom would we cite to that effect) or do we propose creating a list on this page of all notable recordings and performances? (All-Music Guide lists 285 recordings, and I'm sure that their list is incomplete). --Dystopos 06:17, 4 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Anyone interested in this song needs to go to YouTube and search the name RICHARD HIMBER. The list will give you an excellent reproduction of the song with a great vocal by Joey Nash. It is a great listening experience.

This page needs to be modified or split in two. I originally came upon this phrase through a song by The Mountaingoats, and thought I had somewhat solved the mystery (what the heck does Stars Fell on Alabama even mean?) when I saw an Alabama license plate, but that just left me equally confused. Finally, I saw a reference to this from the page about the Leonids (meteor showers), so maybe a page devoted soley to the history of this phrase might be justified, unless the license plate is really just refering to a jazz song, but that seems not to be true, as the license plate has a lot of stars on it, and so on and so on and scoobie doobie do.--Kwierschem (talk) 18:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
