Definitely a bit before my time, but he was THE REALLY BIG singing star on phonograph records from 1890 to 1930, so big, he is sometimes referred to as the Original King of Pop, sorry about that Michael.
He had the number one song in the US this date in 1919.
He had over 5000 phonograph recordings (and not a single download) and is a member of the Songwriter's Hall of Fame. His "Beautiful Ohio," which was #1 in the US this date in 1919, 90 years ago, is also the state song of Ohio with lyrics about the beauty of the state.
Other songs he performed that I'm familiar with are "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree" and "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles."
So, That's Who He Is. --RoadDog
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
