Wikipedia, Nov. 14, 2007 (Kisses Sweeter than Wine (song): long genesis of this song; folk musician Lead Belly heard Irish performer Sam Kennedy in Greenwich Village singing the traditional Irish song "Drimmin Down"; Lead Belly adapted the tune for his own farmer/cow song "If it Wasn t for Dicky"; Lead Belly did not like the lack of rhythm, so he made the piece more rhythmic; Pete Seeger liked Lead Belly s version of the tune, and his chords; Seeger and Lee Hays wrote new lyrics (Hays wrote all new verses, Seeger re-wrote Lead Belly s chorus), turning it into a love song; published in 1951 and recorded by The Weavers on June 12, 1951, in New York City for Decca Records; music was credited to "Joel Newman", the lyrics by "Paul Campbell"; "Paul Campbell" is a pseudonym of the quartet The Weavers who were Seeger, Hays, Fred Hellerman & Ronnie Gilbert; "Joel Newman" is possibly a pseudonym for their music publisher Folkways)

quartet: Pete Seeger, Ronnie Gilbert, Lee Hays, Fred Hellerman
