"Angel Child"
Georgie Price
Victor 18903
1922
Georgie Price was born on January 5, 1900.
Born in New York, George E. Price, who would be known professionally as Georgie Price, made his debut in 1909 as a child actor in Gus Edwards' Schoolboys and Schoolgirls.
He worked in vaudeville, performed in night-clubs, and starred in Ziegfeld's Nine O'Clock Frolic (1918) and Cinderella on Broadway (1920). In the World War I period and early 1920s he was groomed by the two influential Shubert brothers (Lee and J.J.) as a Jolson imitator.
The Shuberts were eager to have a star who could replace the unpredictable Jolson if necessary. When Jolson re-signed with the Shuberts in 1921, Price was demoted to minor roles and pressured to break his contract.
His role in the Shubert's Spice of 1922 consisted on standing silently in front of the curtain for several minutes at the beginning of each act.
Despite appalling working condition by 1922 and salary disputes, he re-signed with the Shuberts, with the same unfortunate results.
His contract with the Shuberts finally expired in 1926, the year in which he starred on Broadway in The Song Writer.
He recorded a single title for Edison on February 19, 1921--"Down Around the 'Sip 'Sip 'Sippi Shore"--but it was unissued.
He began recording for Victor on March 26, 1923, and 14 titles were issued in the next two years. His first disc featured "Dearest" and Morning Will Come," issued on Victor 19047. Announcing its release, Victor's June 1923 supplement states, "This is the first Victor record by Georgie Price, tenor, whistler and vaudeville entertainer generally. His first professional experience was at the age of seven; now, in [his] early twenties, he stands high in the world of popular music. He has a voice and style which sum up all that is characteristic of the day."
"Barney Google," recorded on April 26, 1923, and issued in July 1923 on Victor 19066, was popular.
His performing style drew comparisons with Jolson's. He even covered for Victor two songs that Jolson recorded for other companies: "I'm Going South" (Jolson recorded it for Columbia 61-D a month before Price cut it for Victor) and "California, Here I Come" (Jolson recorded it for Brunswick 2569 nine days before Price recorded it for Victor on January 28, 1924). The latter song was written by Bud DeSylva and Joe Meyer for Jolson, who had turned to the writers for a sure-fire hit to add to the 1923 show Bombo.
In late 1925, after Victor had switched to an electrical recording process, Price recorded four titles, but only one was issued: "Mother Me, Tennessee" (19826).
In 1931 he cut two titles for Brunswick and, in 1934, four titles for the American Record Corporation, with the ARC performances issued on such labels as Banner, Perfect, Conqueror, and Melotone (also on Rex in Great Britain).
Price's last recordings were made for the Stinson label in 1947.
