Differences between record labels and the PROs

Daddy's Honky Tonk credits Bobby Keel and Buck Moore as co-authors. And this is the case on every release I can find and on the Billboard charts of the day.

A third writer - Thomas Gordon Evans Jr - is credited in every PRO - ISWC, ASCAP, GEMA, etc. but is mentioned nowhere else and I can find nothing about him.

Is it Tom Evans Jr.? Badfinger bass player who committed suicide in November 1963. Seems unlikely.

He is also credited by ISWC - T-071.170.903-3 on Mack Vickery's song - Let's Just Leave It Like It Is - but, again, not on the labels in Discogs or 45cat

Your comment on the work page is very good - Daddy's Honky Tonk. It's worth repeating all of this in the artist entry that you've created - Thomas Gordon Evans Jr - as people won't always get to the artist page via the work.

Don't forget to the clear the error report on the work page Scousedave

For the record, when I found a credit discrepancy between the PROs and the release, I would also check any reissues and recent "greatest hits" compilations for the same "mistake". If those later releases had the same "mistake", I would suggest a comment to note the discrepancy. After some hostile responses, I no longer suggest such comments.

Perhaps there's been a change of policy or attitude?
