1. "I'm Through with Love"

Sarah Vaughan may (or may not) have recorded this song twice--I'm not certain (there are two recordings listed on Soulful Kinda Music). I have only heard one Vaughan rendition of the song and this is it. 

A little searching led me to several links that featured "The Chronological Classics: Sarah Vaughan-1946-1947" and this particular recording was on it. Therefore, according to Soulful Kinda Music and other search results, this rendition of "I'm Through with Love" was recorded by the legendary Sarah Vaughan, accompanied by George Treadwell's Orchestra, in 1946. 

2. "Knock Me a Kiss"

According to Second Hand Songs, the Erskine Hawkins Orchestra recorded this favorite in 1942. The singer is honey-voiced Ida James.

3. "Any Kind of Man"

According to Amazon and Keep on Living, Victoria Spivey recorded this bluesy tune in 1936 (October 15, 1936, to be more specific). Other sources (like Youtube and the Internet Archive) say that this song was recorded by Ms. Spivey (and The Chicago Four) in 1934.


4. "Go Harlem"

According to the Internet Archive, the Chick Webb Orchestra recorded this song on June 2, 1936.


5. "The Sweetest Dream"

According to their website, The Ink Spots recorded this song on October 3, 1945.


6. "I Ain't Gonna Study War No More"

According to the Internet Archive and Wikipedia, Jimmie Lunceford and His Orchestra recorded this song with The Dandridge Sisters in 1940.


7. "Does You Do or Does You Don't?"

Vanita Smythe filmed the soundie for this jazzy tune in 1946, so it is only my assumption that she recorded this song that same year. [IMDb]


8. Emaline

According to the Internet Archive, this song, performed by the late, great pianist, Ms. Hazel Scott, was released in 1948. I'm not certain of when it was actually recorded.


9. Keep-a-Knockin' (But You Can't Come In)

Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five recorded this popular tune in 1939. [Wikipedia] [Google Search]


10. "Ride On, Ride On"

This song was performed by Roy Milton and His Solid Senders and featured the unsung voice, Ms. June Richmond. I was unable to find a recording date for it.

All of these songs (with the exception of Sarah Vaughan's rendition of "I'm Through with Love") were obtained from the Internet Archive and therefore are believed (by me, Adrienne) to be in the Public Domain. 

"I'm Through with Love", performed by Sarah Vaughan is a personal favorite of mine and I couldn't resist adding it to the program. It was used for entertainment purposes only.
