Bio

Frank Crumit was a national and world renowned singer and songwriter.
A native of Jackson, Ohio, he was born September 26, 1889, the son of Frank and Mary Poore Crumit.
Crumit's love for music and the theater, which dated back to his early years in the Methodist Church choir, led him toward the decision of pursuing a musical career.

Frank then turned to vaudeville and was very successful in New York and other parts of the country.
As part of a vaudeville team (trio), Crumit appeared at an engagement in London, England in 1913.
And in 1914, he left the vaudeville life and struck out on his own.
With his famous ukulele, he was referred to as "the one-man glee club" in New York City's night spots.
He became such a hit that he landed roles in many musicals.

Frank Crumit became a musical team with Julia Sanderson in 1921.
Together, they became a sensation to their stage and radio audiences.
Via radio, they became known as "The Singing Sweethearts."
Maintaining their home in Massachusetts, Frank and Julia drove to New York City twice a week for many years to do their radio show.
It was a four-hour trip, but they enjoyed it.
Their nationally-produced radio broadcast was aired over WLW in Cincinnati.
Frank is credited with composing at least 50 songs in his career, maybe more.

Frank Crumit died in 1943 in New York City at 53 years of age.
