p_dohertyj.jpgAll that can presently (February 2025) be gleaned about Jim Doherty from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that he was presumably an American vocalist who has made at least 8 recordings between 1915 and 1925 on the Edison label.
His portrait on the left is taken from Ain't It Funny (1912) music by Theron Catlan Bennett, words by George A. Norton and published by Theron C. Bennett Co., New York, USA.
