Last updated: 17.03.25
It is surprising that so little is known about this performer considering the large number of recordings located. All that can presently (February 2025) be gleaned about Charles Compton from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that he was an American tenor who has made at least 12 wax cylinder recordings between 1912 and 19i15 on the Edison Blue Amberol label.
