#1 Billy Murry & Hayden Quartet
Over the years numerous discographies have attributed this recording to BillyMurray and the Haydn Quartet. However, the record label as well as the Victor catalog only list the Hayden Quartet. Billy Murray had a very distinctive tenor voice and it is quite easy for anyone familiar with it to determine that it is not Murray on this recording. Several articles have been written on this subject and the general consensus is that it is Harry MacDonough. He had a less distinctive voice than Murray, but the voice on the recording sounds like it could be him. Both he and Murray made numerous recordings with the Haydn Quartet around that time.
We are sure your information is correct, but in this case we have to follow the Billboard chart (even when it is probably incorrect).
