Although virtually forgotten today, at the start of the
Twentieth Century The Haydn Quartet were undisputed kings of the
Barbershop sound. Recording both in their own right and with some of the day's biggest solo stars including
Billy Murray[?] and
Henry Burr[?], they were one of the most successful acts of the century's first decade. They achieved numerous American best-sellers including perennial favourites,
Bring Back My Bonnie To Me (1901),
Sunbonnet Sue (1908) and
By The Light Of The Silvery Moon(1910).
