The first Columbia recording on which his name appeared was released in 1904. In 1906, he joined the Peerless Quartet for the Victor label. He recorded under many names - Harry McClaskey, Henry Burr and Irving Gillette, to name a few. He also sang with the Heidelberg Quintette and the Sterling Trio, and performed many popular duets with Albert Campbell. In 1915, he assembled a touring troupe of the most popular Victor recording artists, including singers Billy Murray, Arthur Collins, Albert Campbell and banjo player Vess Ossman. Burr became program director for the Columbia Broadcasting Company (later CBS). Burr made a successful comeback on Chicago radio station WLS's "National Barn Dance" in the 1930s. In 1941, he died from throat cancer. This CD, Henry Burr Volume 5, spans the years 1925 to 1926 and includes a selection of Popular and Sentimental songs that represent the style that made him popular for over 25 years with the record buying public. He is joined by The Peerless Quartet on several selections. The recordings included on this CD represent later sessions made by Henry Burr. In addition, all selections were electrically recorded with the use of the new invention in 1925 “the microphone”. The vocal coloring and shading is more apparent in his voice because of the new improved recording process. It is also remarkable at how well the voice is preserved after singing before an acoustic horn for 25 years.
