So long story short; I’m a huge fan of Terrence Mann (mainly for his work in musicals, but he’s done TV/Film as well).

If you use YouTube music and look up the musical ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel’ you’ll find some songs credited to ‘Terry Mann’. That’s my fault.

It never was a very popular musical, and I had uploaded it to my library back in the Google Play days. I may have given Terrence Mann a cute lil nickname for my eyes only roughly a decade ago, and now it’s the official meta data. I hope this doesn’t get corrected because I honestly think about it a lot and I couldn’t ask for a better legacy.

So... Google just took metadata from people's libraries?

    Yeah, at least for this album. I remember changing it from Terrence to Terry. I did it for Les Mis as well, but they obviously would have had a lot more to pull from. I might have had the most ‘complete’ meta data on their server for Scarlet Pimpernel?

    That’s been my assumption at least.

    I might believe this if it weren't for Terry being the number one shorthand name for Terrence.
