Henry Burr

Anthology: the Original King of Pop Henry Burr

Fifty years before the birth of Michael Jackson, a different balladeer was sweeping the nation's vaudeville and concert stages. His name was Henry Burr, and this treasure trove captures his recordings as far back as 1903! This tenor got his start in gospel but soon found greater success as a balladeer with a knack for romantic crooning. This rare compilation features his best recordings from 1903 to 1928!
