George Alexander (July 9, 1867 – March 2, 1913) was a baritone and pioneer recording artist who made several best-selling records for Columbia Records in the first decade of the 20th century.
Biography
George Alexander was born in Baltimore on July 9, 1867,[1] his birth name was Clifford Alexander Wiley.[2] His initial recording activity was for Zonophone Records in 1902, and he subsequently recorded for Columbia Talking Machine Co. in 1903, where he produced the majority of his output.[1] He also recorded a few sides for Victor Records in 1903.[1] The same year, he made cylinder records for Edison under the pseudonym Arthur Clifford.[3] He died on March 2, 1913, in New York[1] at the age of 45.[2]
He died of heart disease and Bright's disease in New York City on 2 March 1913 and is buried in New Jersey Cemetery in North Bergen New Jersey.[4]
Style and popularity as recording artist
He has been noted for his "robust sonority and precise diction."[5] Joel Whitburn, in his chart reconstructions, estimates that Alexander had three records that would have made the Billboard charts had they existed: Mighty Lak' a Rose (Columbia disc 1585, cylinder 32295) at #3 in December 1903; America (Columbia disc 3099, cylinder 32637) at #7 in May 1905, and Dearie (Columbia disc 3378, cylinder 32928) at #10 in July 1906.[2]
