Talk:Don Black (lyricist)

Birth name Donald or Gerald?

Some sources including BBC give Gerald Blackstone as his real name, but one editor suggests Donald Blackstone as birth name. This is supported by free BMD website and discogs.com, which both give Donald. Cjc13 (talk) 13:04, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Interesting. About 1.1 million (Gerald Blackstone. 21 June 1938) to 2.4 million (Donald Blackstone. 21 June 1938) on my Google search. Frankly, I do not normally dismiss the BBC, but I think a source such as Company director check might have a correct full name for legal reasons. Certainly the copious evidence points to both names with some authority. Mmmm...
