Bio

Franklyn Baur (1904 - 1950)

Born in Brooklyn, tenor Franklyn Baur was a church singer at the Park Avenue
Baptist Church of New York and concert singer around the time he began making records.
He gained much recording experience in the last two years of the acoustic era.
He then enjoyed great popularity, as a recording and radio artist,
in the early years of the microphone between 1925 and 1930.
His voice was capable of an incredibly high vocal range and is well represented
in the recordings on this CD.

His first solo recording was made for the Victor Talking Machine

Company was cut in late 1923.

He recorded mainly for Victor, Columbia, and Brunswick.
His last records were made in 1929 for Victor.
He was lead tenor for the Revelers and toured with them throughout Europe. 
He was responsible for many of their jazz interpretations.

In the popular stage production Ziegfeld Follies of 1927,
which ran from August 16, 1927 to January 7, 1928, at the New Amsterdam Theatre,
he sang "The Rainbow of Girls" and the popular "Ooh! Maybe It's You."

Baur was the 1st soloist with the radio program  “The Voice of Firestone” from 1928 until 1930.
He had a recital at Town Hall in New York City on December 4, 1933,
