long story short - the Paul Vance who died yesterday had lied to his wife about being the songwriter of Isty-Bitsy and wasn't the actual composer at all. The composer Paul Vance is alive and well at age 76, and still collecting royalties on the song, having the statements from ASCAP to prove it - the imposter had claimed he'd sold the rights off as his excuse for not receiving payments.
poor chap...
