//These are a few songs I'm interested in that were not Top 30 hits. //

**Colinda ** - This song is based on the melody of ‘Madame Young Donnez-Moi Votre Plus Jole Blonde’ by Dennis McGee, with Sady Courville [‘29, Vocalion 5319]. It was recorded by Happy, Doc & the Boys as ‘Allons Dance Colinda’ [‘46, Fais-Do-Do]; this is Happy Fats LeBlanc, with Doc Guidry on vocal. Jimmie Davis added some English verses in his recording; as ’Colinda’ is on a Decca 45 9-28748 [‘53] but may have come out in 1949 as a 78. A version, ’Allons Danser Colinda’ by Roy Brule appears on Folkways 4938 [‘58], //Cajun Songs from Louisiana. ‘ //Colinda’ appeared by Wallace ‘Cheese’ Read, recorded between 1956 and 1959, and issued on Folklyric LP A-4 //Folksongs of the Louisiana Acadians // [‘59], reissued on Arhoolie 5009. I first heard the song in a version which ‘bubbled under’ the Hot 100, but received some radio play in Boston: Rod Bernard [‘62, Hall-Way 1902] doing a remake of the Jimmy Davis version. Zachary Richard performed it in the 1987 film //The Big Easy. //
 * Kum Ba Yah - **The title of this folk song sung around countless campfires is a variation of ‘Come By Here.’ Some say it originated as a Gallah spiritual from the Georgia Sea Islands, but a Wikipedia article says there is no evidence of this, and that the song was written in the ‘30s by Martin V. Frey, and appeared in printed form in Portland, Oregon, in 1939 on the lyric sheet //The Revival Choruses of Martin V. Frey. //It then returned in its present form from Angola with a missionary family who popularized it (in 1946 or in the ‘50s). The title ‘Come By Here’ turns up on some Library of Congress recordings. Edna Gallmon Cooke and the Radio Four [‘53, Republic 7086] and the Chosen Gospel Singers [‘52, on Specialty LP SPCD 7014-2] recorded the title, but I don’t know if it is the same song - Rypens lists the Cooke version as the first recording of the song; there are other gospel recordings with the same title, but I have heard portions and rejected them. B.B. King did a secularized version [‘59, Kent 2`9]. ’Kum Ba Yah’ was brought into the folk world first by the Folksmiths, with Joe Hickerson, in 1957 on //We’ve Got Some Singing To Do //[Folkways F2407], then with //Pete Seeger at Carnegie Hall with Sonny Terry //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">[‘58, Folkways FA 2412], and the Weavers followed up on //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Traveling On //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">[59, VRS 9043].

Its only chart appearance was by journeyman pop singer Tommy Leonetti [‘69, Decca 32421].
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">We Shall Overcome **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> - This anthem of the Civil Rights movement had its origin either the hymn ‘I’ll Be Alright’ (from 1794?) or in a 1901 hymn by Charles Tindley, ‘I’ll Overcome Someday.’ It was adapted, using ‘we’, by Lucille Simmons in 1946 for use on the picket line in a labor dispute against a tobacco company. Zilphia Horton, a white activist, heard Simmons’ version and brought it to the attention of Pete Seeger (in 1947) and Guy Carawan. The song was developed into its present form in Carawan’s ’Singing in the Movement’ workshop, and he sang it in 1960 at the founding convention of SNCC (Students Non-Violent Coordinating Committee). Pete Seeger may be the one who changed ’We will’ to ’We shall’; he recorded the song in his 1963 Carnegie Hall concert [Columbia 45312] and for Folkways [‘64, //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Broadsides //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> F2456]. It appeared late in 1963 on //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Joan Baez In Concert, Vol. 2 //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> [Vanguard 2123]; released as a single [Vanguard 35023], it charted for one week in November ‘63.

It had country success again in 1963, a posthumous hit for Patsy Cline [Decca 31522]. It grazed the pop charts later that year in an unusual interpretation by Jackie DeShannon [Liberty 55526], and had country success again in 1980 for Willie Nelson & Ray Price [Columbia 11329].

All of these bands were from the Los Angeles area. Tim Rose, a New York folk singer who had worked with Cass Elliott in the Big Three, issued a much altered version of the song [c. 6/66, Columbia 43648], and this formed the basis for the Jimi Hendrix Experience version [charted 1/67 in U.K.; Reprise 0641, from //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Are You Experienced //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> Reprise 6261].
