Harry Champion - Aunt Tilly / Taters (1917)

Many of the early music-hall records, including a lot of these Harry Champion's, were made avilable on multiple labels at the same time of within short periods, sometimes with different track pairings leading to a lot of duplication. Chmpion released the same tracks for labels like Ariel, Favourite, Pathe, John Bull, Zonophone, Winner, Coliseum and Homochord. Later the main labels for him were Regal and Columbia. William Crump (1866 -- January 14, 1942), better known by the stage name Harry Champion, was a famous British music hall composer and star. Born in Shoreditch, London, he first appeared in a music hall at the age of 15, at the Queens Hall, Poplar. In 1888 he changed his stage name from Will Conray, and with a wide repertoire of songs, many of them sung at breakneck speed and often about the joys of food, became one of music hall's most successful artists. His songs became some of the most famous Cockney songs. After his "golden period" of 1910 to 1915, the Great War changed tastes and Champion and other music hall performers declined in popularity. In 1930 they regained their popularity and Champion returned to performing after ten years of retirement. Enjoying popularity throughout the 1930s, Champion started to perform on the radio in the later part of the decade but continuous performing exhausted him by late 1941 and he retired to a nursing home in London, where he died the next year. He is buried in East Finchley Cemetery.
