"Old Kentucky Moonlight"
Sterling Trio
Victor 18908
1922
The vocal trio known as the Sterling Trio usually consisted of Henry Burr, Albert Campbell, and John H. Meyer.
The group performed regularly as part of the Eight Victor Artists concert troupe and made many recordings from 1916 to 1925.
The three singers were members of the Peerless Quartet, and it is possible that the three made their first Sterling Trio records because the fourth member of the Peerless (at that time it was baritone Arthur Collins) was unavailable at times.
The three voices blended beautifully, and for a decade Sterling Trio records sold well.
Representative titles include "Hawaiian Butterfly" (Victor 18272, 1917), "Where the Morning Glories Grow" (with Elizabeth Spencer, Victor 18403, 1918), and "That Tumble-Down Shack in Athlone" (Columbia A2698, 1919).
The trio sings "Love's Old Sweet Song" during "A Miniature Concert" (Victor 35753), an experimental recording made on February 26, 1925, at the beginning of the electric era.
Billy Murray, who serves as master of ceremonies, introduces the trio to listeners as the "the Nickel-plated--oh, pardon me, the Sterling Trio."
For a few years the trio worked for nearly all companies but from late 1920 to late 1925 the singers were exclusive to Victor.
"Down Deep In An Irishman's Heart" (Victor 19749), the group's last recording with Burr still a member, was made on July 2, 1925.
A Sterling Trio recorded for Gennett in late 1925. Campbell and Meyer remained but Burr was replaced by either Charles Harrison or Henry Moeller.
