"The Hucklebuck" may find its inspiration in the last part of "Fade Away Blues" ?!

The similarity is most obvious at 1 min and 58 seconds in the next YT

Here is the Hucklebuck;

"Fade Away Blues" (in my previous comment) was recorded May 1923 in New York by Perry Bradford's Jazz Phools.

Some 4 years later James P. Johnson recorded a song, that he contributed to himself.

The same verse, that was already present in "Fade Away Blues" and, as I said before, would later turn up in the "Hucklebuck", was used by James P Johnson in the beginning of "his" song.

Listen at about 16 seconds in the next YT.

Recorded March 7, 1927 on Columbia 14204-D

Coincidence or not, only 1 week later James P. Johnson again recorded the song, this time with Perry Bradford singing. and rightfully credited.

Original Jazz Hounds‎ ("All That I Had Is Gone") Recorded March 15, 1927 on Columbia 14207-D.
