 | | 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. |
 | | Murray and Burr were to receive $35,000 each per year (an impressive salary in the 1920s), and Campbell, Meyer, and Croxton were to receive $10,000 each per year. |
 | | With Murray exclusive to Victor beginning on July 1, 1920, Edison executives in mid-1920 assembled a new group of singers for its Premier Quartet, picking first tenor Charles Hart, second tenor Billy Jones, baritone Steve Porter (the only member from the old quartet), and bass Harry J. Donaghy. |
