The Holy City - Richard Crooks

Uploaded by hawkmoon03111951 on Nov 28, 2009
A semi religious Victorian ballad, written in 1892. This version was recorded in 1935. The music was written by Michael Maybrick, brother of James Maybrick who has been named, almost certainly falsely, as Jack the Ripper. He was, though, certainly murdered by his American wife.

I think that this voice is excellent for this song, a beautiful match. It indeed is semi-religious, the sort of thing written more for money than out of any religious conviction, but it's still fun.

I have this on a 12inch 78 rpm, pure magic & I have not heard a more beautiful version of this great song.

Jack's brother eh? now there's a story.

P.S. Sorry for calling it a hymn when it isn't really a hymn :-)

@hawkmoon03111951 Yes - it certainly is a fascinating story. All the best :-)

Thanks for allowing me to hear this beautiful hymn written by Michael Maybrick. I have to take issue with you about his brother, though. In my opinion James most certainly was Jack. His american wife was acquitted, I believe. Perhaps Michael did it to protect his own reputation! From what I've read, Florence had no idea what was going on.

@peecee1384 I'm pleased that you enjoyed it. Jack the Ripper is an enigma though. We all have our different candidates, mine being Montague John Druitt, but I don't expect we will ever know for certain. In fact, it is the 'not knowing' that really keeps the story alive.
