Georgie Price

voc, 1901-1964 US
Singer of Pop

Georgie Price (George Edwards Price January 5, 1901 - May 10, 1964) was an American vaudeville singer and comic who performed in Vitaphone shorts in the 1920s and 1930s. Price began as a child performer in public places such as barrooms and streetcars, before winning amateur competitions. At six years old, he so impressed opera singer Enrico Caruso that he performed with Caruso in a benefit concert for a deceased police officers family. It was Price, as a vaudeville child star, who in 1909 introduced the famous Edwards-Madden song By the Light of the Silvery Moon in Gus Edwards' revue School Boys and Girls. As an adult professional he drew comparisons to Al Jolson and Eddie Cantor.
