He may have written it, but Goodman was the first to record it, and the song was a staple of his band. You can look that up. I got my information from a textbook. Jazz: An American Journey by Brian Harker. There is a wiki for it that backs me up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sing_Sing_Sing
If I were you, I'd actually do some real research before spitting out some info you found on wikipedia.
It is still a fact that it is not his tune though. About the same as saying saying "Maynard Ferguson's Coconut Champagne" even though it was completely composed by Denis Di Blasio. Given credit where due. Sorry I went a little overboard there, it just bugs me when music is completely credited to the performer and not the composer themselves.
