Title: Standard Lie #1 - Dennis Co-write? Post by: superunison on October 05, 2018, 12:34:27 PM Someone linked to Dennis' ASCAP page in another thread and I found this title "Standard Lie #1" listed as a 50% co-write with Stella Parton (Dolly's sister). Anyone know anything else about this? Doesn't have any of Dennis' songwriting earmarks to me at least....

Not seeing anything online about the other Dennis. Active in the 70's I'm assuming. Title: Re: Standard Lie #1 - Dennis Co-write? Post by: c-man on October 05, 2018, 02:21:37 PM Ah, that would make sense! Disregard then! Not seeing anything online about the other Dennis. Active in the 70's I'm assuming. Yeah. Had a '79 album called One Of Those People, IIRC. Interesting that his middle initial must also be "C.". There was also a British composer named Dennis Wilson, responsible for incidental music and sometimes the theme songs to such legendary series as "Steptoe and Son", "Meet The Wife", and "Faulty Towers". EDIT: Another was "My Wife Next Door" - and that one's also listed in the ASCSP database referenced above. Title: Re: Standard Lie #1 - Dennis Co-write? Post by: c-man on October 05, 2018, 06:28:34 PM And the "country" Dennis Wilson is obviously the composer of another title on this database - "It Could Have Been Ten Years", recorded by The Oak Ridge Boys in '77. And, possibly another one listed here - "Wild Wild North West" (sic), of which no publisher is likewise listed.

The ASCAP database has this, and other works, incorrectly credited to "Dennis C. Wilson" ("our" Dennis), along with his IPI (Interested Party Interface) number. Wonder if that has any bearing on royalty collection for these numbers? Title: Re: Standard Lie #1 - Dennis Co-write?

I remember how confused I was when I saw George Jones' "Still the same ol' me" album and the credit "Dennis Wilson" for background vocals. :lol It became clear over the years and lots of other credits on country records though that it wasn't Beach Boy Dennis. |
