Here are two ballads from the late 1890s as performed nearly three decades later by Lewis James<\/a>, a vocalist who was a prolific recording artist on Victor, Columbia, Edison and other labels from 1917 through the 1930s.<\/p>\n

In addition to solo vocals, James also recorded as a member of the Shannon Four harmony vocal quartette which later changed its name to The Revelers<\/a>.\u00a0 The success of The Revelers extended beyond records to include regular appearances on radio, in vaudeville and even a European tour.\u00a0 It was 78 rpm records of The Revelers that inspired the formation of the famous German vocal group, the Comedian Harmonists<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 I will dig out some Revelers recordings to include in future updates.<\/p>\n

“Good Night Little Girl Good Night” was composed by James Cartwright Macy with words by Julia M Hays.\u00a0 It was published in 1898.<\/p>\n

“Absent” was published in 1899.\u00a0 It was composed by John W. Metcalf with lyrics by Catherine Young Glen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
