Music Hall CDs

Florrie Forde had a gift for taking hold of an audience. With a repertoire of great songs with rousing choruses, she encouraged the audience to sing with her, establishing a fashion that continues to this day. Her most popular chorus songs are included in this CD. The CD contains 26 tracks, transferred from original 78 rpm records and phonograph cylinders which were made between 1903 - 1936.
