 Billy Murray (singer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Murray's popularity faded with changes in public taste and recording technology; the rise of the electric microphone in the mid 1920s coincided with the rise of the crooners.
While he often performed romantic numbers and ballads which sold well at the time, his comedy and novelty song recordings continue to be popular with later generations of record collectors.
While he received star billings on Vaudeville, he was best known for his prolific work in the recording studio, making records for almost every record label of the era.

Murray recorded Chili Bean for, and it was released on, the Victor, Edison, Gennett, Grey Gull, Operaphone, Pathe, and Starr record labels.
Murray's voice was well suited for acoustic recording.
Billy Murray was probably the most popular recording artist of the acoustic era (that is, before microphones were commonly used in making records).

 Billy Murray
Murray isn't considered much of a jazz singer, but he made many records as a studio vocalist with several jazz and dance bands.
Until microphones were used for electrical recording in the 1920s, recordings had to be done acoustically by the use of a horn.
Murray recorded popular songs on a wide variety of different labels and brands of 78rpm discs and cylinders, including songs that are now considered to be classics such as "Yankee Doodle Boy," "In My Merry Oldsmobile," "You're a Grand Old Flag," "Casey Jones," "Alexander's Ragtime Band," "Come, Josephine, in My Flying Machine," and many others.

 Billy Murray: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more Music.com
Billy Murray [+] was the most successful recording artist of the acoustic era of recording that stretched from before the turn of the 20th century to the mid-'20s.
Always as much a comedian as a singer, Murray moved into radio acting in the 1930s, though he took another fling at recording on the RCA Victor subsidiary Bluebird Records in the early '40s.

Murray not only negotiates a minefield of alliterative, tongue-twisting verbiage, but is genuinely funny in his efforts at exhorting the listener to join in.
Prior to the 1990s, Murray’s legacy was kept alive by acoustic era record collectors and students of the early history of the phonograph.
Further proof of Murray’s success was the willingness of the labels to have him record a wide stylistic range of material, including songs from Broadway musicals, sentimental ballads, comic fare, vaudeville sketches, ethnic and topical pieces, and more faddish items such as the jungle and cowboy songs then in vogue.

 Early Recordings of African Americans/Early Ragtime
Murray recorded about 20 songs with "ragtime" in the title.
Recordings were made of Tin Pan Alley songs with "rag" in the title, and such songs performed by Arthur Collins and Billy Murray are fun to hear, but they are not the real thing.
This reissues Vess L. Ossman, Arthur Collins, Sousa's Band, Billy Murray, Gene Greene, and several others who cut numbers with "rag" or "ragtime" in the song's title.

 Classic Images: Film Book Reviews -August, 1997
There was not a song genre that Billy Murray did not record, and, as the authors note, his songs provide a popular overview of events in American culture and society.
The recording careers of Bing Crosby or Elvis Presley pale in comparison with this man’s work.
Appendices in this massive, 562-page volume detail such matters as lyrics to selected songs recorded by Billy Murray, archives and private collections specializing in Billy Murray and biographical sketches of leading recording artists from Billy Murray’s era.

 American Quartet
This version of the American Quartet, with Billy Murray's distinctive lead, was among the three most popular quartets to make records in the acoustic era, the other two being the Haydn and the Peerless.
An agreement was reached and Murray's earliest credited Diamond Discs--"California and You," "I'm Goin' Back to Louisiana," and "My Croony Melody"--were released in the latter part of 1914 (he is on a few earlier Diamond Discs but is not credited).
Composed by George L. Botsford and Harry Breen, this song was part of a cowboy trend that spread because of the popularity of Harry Williams and Egbert Van Alstyne's "Cheyenne" (Murray's recordings of it enjoyed brisk sales).

Listening to this disc, you feel as if you are sitting in the parlor with your family and friends listening to the new hit songs that were all the rage on the Vaudeville stage.
Well, the nice folks at Archeophone have included very detailed liner notes about Murray's career, which state that the classic base ball anthem was never recorded by Murray himself.
In the early days of recording, singers had to practically shout into the engraving cone to have their voice etched onto the record disc.

In addition to his recordings with Murray and as part of a trio with Hamiet Bluiett and the Senegalese percussionist Mor Thiam, Jackson has made four albums as a leader for the Canadian label Justin Time.
"The answer would have to be not at all, because by coming along now, I've gotten to play with David Murray and James Carter and Leon Parker and people like that, and I’ve been exposed to many forms of music beyond jazz that weren’t even around then.
I happen to think that the period we're living through now is actually a pretty exciting time for music."

 Billy Murray
Billy Murray is one of the most successful of all American singers of humorous songs, and probably entertains, through his records, a larger audience than any other singer who has ever lived.
His Irish songs, the rapid - fire type of comic song with no breathing places (Billy never seems to take a breath !), the topical song, popular sentimental songs and dialect specialties.
No matter what the line of work he undertakes it is sure to be cleverly done.

Billy is running around in circles doing their dirty work, dreaming maybe to one day be the store manager himself.
Conveniently veiled by a generic new name RELIGIOUS FREEDOM COALITION, Billy hides his past; www.rfcnet.org never mentions the seedy adventures he so proudly describes in MY LIFE WITHOUT GOD, a biography that makes him look as bad as David Waters, the man who got life for murdering Billy's mother, brother and daughter.
Though he is still holding the bag after all these years, as lobbyist, his hand is firmly in it.
