It made Waller the first black songwriter to compose songs specifically for a largely white Broadway audience. Reword subsequent paragraph so Early to Bed fits in.

  • 00:17 00:17, 18 March 2018 diff hist +43 Janis Joplin →‎Pearl: Move comma so it is inside the parenthesis. Correct mention of the time frame and place where Joplin was voted "ugliest man on campus." She was a student at the University of Texas for less than a year. Saying "the year" she was there is pushing it.
  • 00:06 00:06, 18 March 2018 diff hist −21 Janis Joplin →‎Early recordings and personal life: 1962–1965: I checked our source "Scars of Sweet Paradise." It says people in other offices of Giarritano's building could hear Janis sing occasionally, but it doesn't say they clapped. It was a building for psychological counseling in multiple office units. Such a building requires privacy and confidentiality. How would you know if someone in another office claps?

  • 01:04 01:04, 28 January 2018 diff hist +1,076 Johnnie RayOK, I removed the part about "unknown to basic cable television viewers." I removed the assertion that Ray appeared in more than one high school gym. He did perform at a high school gym in Alexandria, LA in 1987. Source backs that up. Text is legible.

  • 23:18 23:18, 27 January 2018 diff hist +1,215 Johnnie Rayrestore previous edit, this time with a legitimate source -- This source is a column in the newspaper called The Town Talk in Alexandria, Louisiana dated February 18, 1987 -- It says Ray and other singers performed on Feb. 16 in a local high school gym.
  • 19:42 19:42, 27 January 2018 diff hist +740 Johnnie Ray →‎Later career: Add a reminder that despite Ray playing large venues in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, venues he played far away from those cities (in the USA) did not enhance his career. Add a second reference about Billie Holiday receiving star.
  • 19:17 19:17, 27 January 2018 diff hist +63 Dorothy Kilgallen →‎Early life and career: Because the sentences about Kilgallen's stint writing her column in California was removed, then we must also remove the words "Back in New York in 1938." Add detail about her name in opening credits of a 1937 Hollywood film.
