''Dreaming'' – Henry Burr (as Irving Gillette) (rec. 1907, issued 1908)

Posted in: Animation


The November 1907 issue of “Edison Photograph Monthly” called this “One of the most popular sentimental songs of the season, recorded in slow, dreamy time”. It was written by J. Anton Dailey and L. W. Heiser. It is combined here with pictures from the March 1911 edition of “Technical World Magazine”. The audio comes from the UCSB Cylinder Audio Archive. Henry Burr was a top-selling music act in his day.
