(c) 2007 Sony BMG Music Entertainment On the booklet, Cozy Cole is credited for introduction on track 1-15, which is the last track of the previous session. Disc 3, track 5, "He's Funny That Way" is registered at ASCAP as having been written by Charles N. Daniels (real name of Neil Moret) and Richard A. Whiting. Disc 3, track 18, "Sugar" is registered at ASCAP as having been written by Sidney D. Mitchell, Edna B.
