So am I lol. Kinda a dumb question but what genre was popular in the 1900s and 1910s? Ik jazz was big in the 20s and Swing in the 30s but like was jazz big in the 10s?
@@loganwilson4625, ragtime and quartets. 1900 - 1920 era songs like "In the good ol summertime" and "Sweet Adeline" are quartet songs. And Scott Joplin's "Maple leaf rag" and "The entertainer" is ragtime. The music changed alot in the roaring twenties with the jazz speakeasy music like "Charleston" and "Ain't misbehavin"
I am 15 and I know most of these songs. I like this music. Billy Murray, Arthur Collins, Byron G. Harlan, Henry Burr, Harry Macdonough all were great singers of their era. Yes, I know these names lol! 😂
@@loganwilson4625, it was the popular music of the very early 1900s. It wasn't jazz, jazz became popular in the 1920s with hits like "The Charleston". In 1900 - 1919 was when this music was popular, I'm not exactly sure what to call it either. Some of it was the romantic music of that time, it sounds like. Some of it was barbershop quartets, like "Sweet Adeline".
#13 "Good Morning Carrie" isn't Bert Williams, that is Mississippi John Hurt, I believe. It stands out because the recording sounds much more modern than the other songs of that era. Bert Williams' 1902 version included George Walker. I'm not an expert, but just wanted to point that out. Not sure when John's version was recorded, but it was much later. John was ten years old in 1902.
These songs were 60 years old when the Beatles started playing, and sound nothing like their music. The oldest songs by the Beatles are 60 years old, and sound closer to today's music (than comparing 1900s songs to 1960s songs). Just comes to show how big of an impact the Beatles made to the industry.
As an enthusiastic Beatles fan, I won't argue with you--but I would like to add that in the years between 1900 and 1964, we had two World Wars (the second of which included the Holocaust), a global depression, the assassination of two U.S. presidents, the passage of Women's Suffrage, and many other truly monumental events. And that doesn't take into account the technological advances, particularly those that impacted audio recording. So, although it would be wrong to discount the influence of the Fab Four on the world of music, it would also be wrong to discount the influence of the greater world itself on music.
It’s weird to see that some people here passed in the 20s and 30s. It’s obvious that’s how life works, but it’s difficult to imagine someone dying that long ago? It that weird? Tha5 means these people are born in the 1870s or 1860s. That seems a long time ago but it isn’t. Time is odd
I too am fascinated how time is wierd to us like i was born in 1980s and by looking back to people born in 1880s i can tell that most of them were gone buy 50s 1960s that ill be gone in 2060s lol i know simple math problems buy fascinates me to think of time
9:41 - Billy Murray looks alot like James Cagney, who also sang Yankee doodle dandy in 1941 film of the same name. Except Cagney played George Cohan, writer of the song where Billy Murray sang it. Cagney should've played Murray. Or maybe both Cohan and Murray
Put On Your Grey Bonnet kinda sounds like She’ll Be Coming Around The Mountain by Tommy Scott especially this part at 1:52 sounds like the chorus of She’ll Be Coming… Did you guys notice that or it’s just me?
I think about the Titanic when I listen to these songs. And also the songs auld lang syne and and other tunes like strips and stripes. This came out when when my nan & granddad were born. Those were the days.
Richard Jose is a great dicovery for me! His voice is strong as a man but high as boy. I think this could give an idea of a original castrati singer and not a „false“ counter tenor with falsetto… „Too late“ or „The good old girl“ are also good exambles. Worth to hear all his songs!
Frank Stanley had a beautiful voice! I love it when he sang Auld Lang Syne! He’s more of a bel canto singer, he almost sounds like an opera singer. That Haydn Quartet was great too.
Land of Hope and Glory, Under the Anheuser Bush and I Do Like To Be Beside the Seaside are all songs from 1900 to 1909 still sung today and should be there. Auld Lang Syne, Stars and Stripes Forever and Swing Low are clearly older than 1900 surely?
If we're being realistic, they wouldn't believe what they were hearing, the audio quality and melodies would blow their minds, 1900s music is better btw
@@NathanielJordon i applore the polite resonse, you dont see that too often on youtube by the creators when they are being "critiqued" in any shape or form
Seeing as how he's wearing a Tam O'Shanter in the picture and has a heavy cheesy Scottish accent, I'm guessing he actually meant a person named Jock, which was a popular Scottish nickname. Old songs are FULL of things that sound dirty now, but had completely different meanings back then. XD
