Lewis James (July 29, 1892 - February 19, 1959) was a vocalist and among the most active of recording artists in the United States from 1917 through much of the 1930s. He was a member of The Shannon Four, The Revelers, and The Criterion Trio. He had many Top Ten hits during that time, including "My Baby Boy", "Till We Meet Again", "What'll I Do", and "Pal of My Cradle Days", among others. He died in 1959. Lewis James was born in Dexter, Michigan. He recorded extensively as a soloist, duet partner, and quartet lead singer. His first recording with the Shannon Four (aka the Shannon Quartet) was the World War I chestnut, "All Aboard For Home Sweet Home." Like many of his colleagues, he proved exceedingly versatile in recording love ballads, hymns, children's songs and the more sophisticated early jazz harmonies. As a member of the Revelers Quartet, he made several successful European tours. The Shannon Four, Revelers, Crescent Trio, and Merrymakers consisted mostly of the same singers, with occasional substitutes. His sweet melodic tenor is immortalized on Victor, Columbia, and Edison recordings, mostly from 1917 through 1927. He was also active on radio as a member of The Revelers and as a solo artist throughout the 1920's and 1930's. This CD includes his popular recordings from his 2nd group of Victor and Columbia recordings made at the peak of his recording career. His pleasant rich tenor voice is heard in several of the songs of the 1920's and 1930's that have become standards. Mr. James can also be heard in the CD " The Revelers" also available from The Vintage Recordings Ebay store. https://stores.ebay.com/Vintage-Recordings Lewis James 1920's Popular & Sentimental Vocals (Encore 2) [Recorded 1926-1930] 1-Let The End Of The World Come Tomorrow (With Helen Clark) [Recorded 1926] 2-Sleepy Head (With Franklyn Baur) [Recorded 1926] 3-Let’s Forgive And Forget [Recorded 1927] 4-Silver Haired Sweetheart [Recorded 1928] 5-Sweet Elaine (With The Shannon Quartet) [Recorded 1928] 6-Little Log Cabin Of Dreams [Recorded 1928] Your browser does not support the audio element. 7-Little Mother (With Elliot Shaw) [Recorded 1928] 8-Absent [Recorded 1928] 9-Goodnight, Little Girl, Goodnight [Recorded 1928] 10-Forever [Recorded 1928] 11-My Tonia [Recorded 1928] 12-Monna Vanna [Recorded 1928] 13-Love Me [Recorded 1929] Your browser does not support the audio element. 14-To Be Forgotten [Recorded 1929] 15-With My Guitar And You [Recorded 1930] 16-Singing A Song To The Stars [Recorded 1930] 17-The Little Things In Life [Recorded 1930] 18-Under The Spell Of Your Kiss [Recorded 1930]
