Singles
editDates shown in the Singles tables below are recording dates. Singles are grouped into tables according to the release year. Some singles were not immediately released or were re-issued, so the year of the recording date may not match the year of release. This is especially evident during the 1942–1944 musicians' strike, which started on July 31, 1942, and lasted through November 11, 1944, for the Columbia label. Striking musicians were prohibited from recording in the studio during this time, so the record labels released unissued recordings from their stockpiles, or they re-issued recordings from previous years. A second musicians' strike lasted from January 1, 1948, through December 1948.[25]
U.S. peak chart positions are from Joel Whitburn's Pop Memories 1890–1954: The History of American Popular Music.[3] Chart dates shown are from the same source and are the date the song first charted. R&B chart positions are from MusicVF.com and Barry Kowal's HitsOfAllDecades.com.[4][5] At the time of James's charts, Billboard magazine referred to the R&B chart as "The Harlem Hit Parade".

- Notes
- ^ a b c d Per the liner notes, Charlie Barnet produced these Crown "Charlie Barnet Presents" albums (re-issued by Bright Orange), though he did not play on them. Crown used the musicians from The Harry James Orchestra to create new stereophonic recordings of Harry James's previous releases. Harry James is not listed as a participating musician on the credits, and some of these records credit Maxwell Davis as arranger/conductor. Davis was musical director for Modern/RPM/Crown/Kent Records.
