[edit] Contradiction

"Stardust" is an American popular song composed in 1927 by Hoagy Carmichael with the lyrics added four years later by Mitchell Parish. But Carmichael reworked the piece as a slow ballad in 1929, and the same year Mitchell Parish added lyrics.

Did Parish add the lyrics in 1929, as directly stated, or 1931, "four years" after 1927, as indicated in the first statement? 71.142.78.181 21:27, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

The "four years later" is a throwaway remark on a BBC web page. I've found a source that specifies 1929 as the year Parish wrote the lyrics, so I'm going to change the article accordingly and move the BBC reference down to "External links". Scolaire (talk) 11:27, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
