Red Clyde
This claim is inaccurate. "From 1955 to 1957, he recorded seven vocal jazz albums for Red Clyde's Bethlehem Records".
Red was bought in as A & R director for Gus Wildi's Bethlehem Records following the departure of Creed Taylor. Tyler Alpen apologizes here for his part in creating this incorrectly as fact. http://www.tyleralpern.com/bethlehem.html
where Clyde is referred to as both "head man" and Bethlehem A & R". Clyde came to Bethlehem in mid-'55 among a series of changes. See https://archive.org/details/sim_down-beat_1955-09-21_22_19/page/46/mode/1up?q=%22Red+Clyde%22+%2Bbethlehem
Unless there is any discension, I propose to change to "Gus Wildi's Bethlehem Records for which Red Clyde was Director for A & R. Cathcam (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 22:21, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
Named after Melvin Douglas
Douglas's first Broadwy appearance was in 1928 when Mel Torme was 3 years old. He had not appeared in films at that point. So Torme could not possibly have been named after Melvin Douglas. 104.193.3.153 (talk) 15:30, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
