Lily of Laguna - by Jimmy Carlton

This song was written by Leslie Stuart in 1898. This is a recording on the 'Eclipse' Label from the early 1930's by Jimmy Carlton - could this be a false name?

I can't help with "Jimmy Carlton" but the 'Eclipse' record Label was maketed as a budget product by woolworths. This evolved into the Embasy lable and ran until the late sixties. Usually the records were cover versions of popular songs performed by their own artist's.

I do have Leslie Sarony, who was a well known artist on Eclipse, as well as many others. the way Jimmy Carlton sing this rendition on this recording is the best version i Have heard, and a good singer
