  • The sinking of the Reuben James är en sång skriven av Woody Guthrie som handlar om sänkningen av fartyget USS Reuben James, vilket var det första amerikanska örlogsfartyget som sänktes av tyska ubåtar under andra världskriget. Woody Guthrie hade börjat att skriva en sång som innehöll namn på alla offer för katastrofen men dessa blev senare ersatta med en kör som sjunger raden: "Tell me what were their names." Countryartisten Kenny Rogers hit Reuben James har inget samband med Woody Guthries inspelning. Det är två olika sånger. (sv)
