"Edison's Favorite Singer" ~ American Soprano Anna Case ~ My Laddie (1928)

[gmmix]

Expressive and beautiful voice. Sounds like she

truly is singing straight from her heart. Am stunned to read she made 41 discs for Columbia from '28 to '30, as I don't own a single one....but do have all her Diamond Discs. Splendid photo of the woman. Thanks for this posting.

My mother, who died in 1944, used to sing this. It is terribly nostalgic. Can anyone help me with the meaning of 'the kent ye carry'? I can't find it anywhere.

A voice of attractive quality. The beauty of her chest notes, in particular, help to explain why one of the singer's preferred roles was said to be that of Carmen.

One of those that i just had to listen to again. Yes you'd have to guess it was a Scottish song. Loved it.

[Corrie121]

Lovely!!. She rolls her "r's" as good as any in the broadest Scottish dialect.

Thank you for sharing this delightful post.

[Kievest]

Sensitive musicality wrapped in the sole

luxury of a beautiful voice! Case's sing-

ing is a great pleasure to experience!

Sentimental but not maudlin...Wonderful

photos, Doug! Thank you!

Douglasio,

A Most Magnificent voice indeed!

She was lovely and had a beautiful voice.

I enjoyed the song too! Merci.

0:06 just seems like a violin. Divine voice. Edison had good taste.

Doug thank you for posting this request for me. I am not set up to transfer the Edison discs and have no recordings by her. I was taken by this lovely lady's beautiful voice and she is a first rate singer. Thanks again

[genia106]

Romantic ONE,

Thank you for requesting this GEM!

[pax41]

Did you listen to his other post by her? I have listened to this one at least 4x's now. Just so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

Bob:

Be careful... I'm playing a very subtle, devious game with you. Before you know it you'll be addicted to her operatic recordings, one thing will lead to the next, and you'll abandon jazz, blues, pop, etc.

:-D

Cheers, mate.

I love all kinds of music and have always been a big fan of classical music. My 78 collection leans toward the lighter fare but I do like the more serious music. I see you like to collect the obscure artists, we are very much alike. Doug, you have to post all of her music here whether the recording sounds good or not. I am seriously in love with this lady's glorious voice.

[paulostroff99]

Avery lovely voice and performance. TY Doug.

[Bivolari]

A lovely disc. She was rather good. Clarence MacKay was Irving Berlin's father-in-law!

[AulicExclusiva]

A very charming disk by an adorable artist.

[meltzerboy]

A lovely voice and a great but under-appreciated artist. Edison and Doug apparently both have very good taste in singers in addition to their other remarkable gifts. Thanks for posting.

[tomfroekjaer]

What a pearl ! Never heard of her before...

Thanks, Dough.

[CurzonRoad]

Hi Tom: She made quite a few acoustics for Edison, which are often are very noisy... so here she is -- "Edison's Favorite Singer" -- on a Columbia electrical! THANK YOU! Doug --
