  Billy Murray (singer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Billy Murray (25 May 1877 - 17 August 1954) was one of the most popular singers in the United States in the early decades of the 20th century.
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.
Murray made his last recordings in 1943 and retired to Freeport, Long Island, New York in 1944.

 Billy Murray
Billy Murray, known in his heyday as "The Denver Nightingale," was one of America's best-selling recording artists who entertained millions through his records during the phonograph era.
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.
Murray soon freelanced for any record company that was willing to pay for his services, and soon became one of the most popular singers in the mid-naught years.

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.
Murray's career was in decline by the mid-'20s, both because of the rise of jazz (or what, in the hands of the likes of Paul Whiteman [+], passed for jazz in the '20s) and the introduction of electrical recording, which was kinder to emerging soft-voiced crooners like Rudy Vallée [+] and Bing Crosby [+].
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, like many singers from the early decades of the twentieth century, recorded much material depicting the distrust of rural folk for city ways (in one song, “Sally Green the Village Vamp,” this is reflected by references to Paris fashions, short hair for women, and a taste for liquor).
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.
Murray was far more than an extraordinary comedian, though; his career was a testament to the fact that a multifaceted recording artist could thrive without being confined to pigeonholes provided by record company executives.
