Hallo,

ich besitze eine Schellackplatte, Electrola EG 1909 mit den Titeln "Grüss mir mein Hawaii" und "Fox dei Lilas", Gesang "Edmund Fritz's Singing Babies"

Ist das die selbe Damengruppe ?

[kr103]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Das ist in der Tat die selbe Gruppe und eine wirklich seltene Platte ...

[Goldensorrow]

Respond to this video... this is the granddaughter of the alto in the group (Fritzi Schlichter). she was born in 1900 and thus if your record is really from 1909 it can't be her. But are you sure the date isn't 1929? by the way you can also hear this group on Youtube if you search seven viennese singing sisters.

Hallo Goldensorrow,

die 1909 ist die Bestellnummer der Electrola-Schellackplatte, nicht die Jahreszahl.

Viele Grüße tschüß Sascha

"The Singing Babies" is a group name. No wonder that their number of 'sisters' varied. They were better and bigger than the mere confines of Germany; no wonder they were international stars. They DO grow on you. So sweet, all their voices.

One of the singers is Fritzi (Friederike) Schlichter. My great grandmother. My family retains some records of the group. In the beginning of WWII (late 30s) some members went to Argentina including my great grandmother. Also a woman who's first name was Petra.

Thank you very much for this interesting information about your great grandmother

Fritzi Schlichter !

Petra is a typical Dutch name ...
