Frank C. Stanley & Corinne Morgan - The Mocking Bird 1904

Victor 4080 - Frank C. Stanley & Corinne Morgan - The Mocking Bird 1904 - Music & Lyrics by Septimus Winner. Frank C. Stanley (29 December 1868 -- 12 December 1910) was a bass-baritone singer, stage performer and banjoist who made many early gramophone recordings on disc and cylinder during the 1890s and the 1900s. His real name was William Stanley Grinsted. He was born on 29 December 1868 in Orange, New Jersey. From 1891 onwards he made banjo recordings for the Edison Phonograph Company under his own name. When he started to make vocal recordings, he did that under the Frank Stanley pseudonym. In the early 1900s he organized the Columbia Quartet, and in 1906 it was renamed the Peerless Quartet when it started to record for companies other than Columbia. He died of pleurisy on 12 December 1910 at his home in Orange. Corinne Morgan (16 February 1876 -- 1945?) was the stage name of Corinne (or Cora) Welsh. She was a contralto singer and pioneer recording artist who recorded popular songs in the early years of the twentieth century and was best known for her duets with Frank Stanley. Some sources misspell her name as Corrine. She was born at Commercial Point, Ohio, the daughter of John C. Welsh, a farmer, and later moved to New York City. In 1902, she started recording for the major cylinder recording companies of the day, including Edison and Columbia, although after 1904 most of her recordings were for Victor Records. She was one of the first female singers to record regularly, and mainly recorded sentimental rather than comic songs. She does not seem to have recorded after 1909, but worked as a professional singer until at least 1919. Most sources give her year of death as 1945, although a date in 1942 has also been suggested.
