Bio

Henry Burr (1885-1941) was the most prolific recording artist of his time,
with more than 12,000 recordings to his credit by his own reported estimate.

The first Columbia recording on which his name appeared was released in 1904.
In 1906, he joined the Peerless Quartet for the Victor label.
He recorded under many names - Harry McClaskey, Henry Burr and Irving Gillette,
to name a few.
He also sang with the Heidelberg Quintette and the Sterling Trio,
and performed many popular duets with Albert Campbell.
 

In 1915, he assembled a touring troupe of the most popular Victor recording
artists, including singers Billy Murray, Arthur Collins, Albert Campbell and
banjo player Vess Ossman.
After several years of recording, Burr signed a lucrative,
exclusive contract with Victor.
After a management change in 1927,  Victor decided not to renew the
ensemble's contract.
Burr became program director for the Columbia Broadcasting Company (later CBS).
Burr made a successful comeback on Chicago radio station WLS's "National Barn Dance"
in the 1930s.
In 1941, he died from throat cancer.

This CD spans the years 1913 to 1926 and includes a  selection of Popular, Sentimental
& World War I songs that represent the style that made him popular for over
25 years with the record buying public.
