| Help! I am an avid fan and collector of tenor Henry Burr. After the end of his recording career, he spent several years (1935 to 1943) singing on the WLS National Barn Dance. He was billed as the "Dean of Ballad Singers". I am looking for recordings of the show that contain selections by Henry Burr. If anyone can help, I would be so glad. |

I don't have recordings with Burr's voice. However, my copy of the 1941 WLS Family Album has a good photograph of him, with this accompanying description:
"Beloved Henry Burr, the dean of ballad singers, has made more phonograph records than any other person. He's been singing for 30 years and once toured the country giving concerts with his own troop, Eight Popular Victor Artists. Mr. Burr's recording of 'Goodnight, Little Girl, Goodnight' was purchased by more than 3,000,000 music lovers from coast to coast, and almost as many for 'Old Gray Bonnet"." < |
