Sir Henry Lauder (August 4th 1870 – February 26th 1950) He was a Scottish singer and comedian popular in both music hall and vaudevillian theatre traditions He achieved international success. He became a familiar worldwide figure promoting images like the kilt and the cromach (walking stick) to huge acclaim, especially in America. He made 22 trips to the US on tour. Among his most popular songs were "Roamin' in the Gloamin", "A Wee Deoch-an-Doris", "The End of the Road" and, a particularly big hit for him, "I Love a Lassie". Lauder's understanding of life, its pathos and joys, earned him his popularity. Lauder usually performed in full Highland regalia—kilt, sporran, tam o' shanter, and twisted walking stick. He sang Scottish-themed songs, including Roamin' in the Gloamin'. By 1911 Lauder had become the highest-paid performer in the world, and was the first British artist to sell a million records. By 1928 he had sold double that. He raised vast amounts of money for the war effort during the First World War, for which he was knighted in 1919. He went into semi-retirement in the mid-1930s, but briefly emerged to entertain troops in the Second World War. By the late 1940s he was suffering from long periods of ill-health and died in Scotland in 1950 at the age of 80. Many of Lauder's songs were written by himself. There is a great deal of excitement in his recorded performances. In each one of his songs, he tells jokes in between the verses. He recorded mainly for Victor and his personality comes through very well in his recordings, The records in this CD release were recorded in his prime and at the height of his popularity. ******************************************************** Harry Lauder [Comic Songs and Scotch Vaudeville] (Recorded 1909 - 1920) Encore 1 Several Items will have a symbol next to a song.
