Hi Bill, Thanks for the information regarding George Durgom. Here's the

Also with no creator's credits

>Dear Ric,
>A very good question.
>'Durgom' seems to have attached his name to the Frank Sinatra 1944 versions
>of the song "There's No You" recorded for V-Disc and Columbia 36797 and
>also
>a later 1957 Capitol rendition.
>George Durgom (a now celebrated Lebanese-American) was the band boy for
>Tommy Dorsey, changed his name to "Bullets" Durgom and became manager for
>many stars including Jackie Gleason, Natalie Wood, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn
>Miller, Sammy Davis, Jr, Marilyn Monroe and others.
>He was portrayed in the 2002 telemovie 'Gleason' by actor Saul Rubinek.
>I think we can guess how he organised his way into the 1944 Sinatra record
>sessions and on to the label credits for Sinatra's "There's No You".
>There was still a Tommy Dorsey, Axel Stordahl and Sinatra contractual
>association at that time.
>Kind regards,
>Bill.
