One of the first of the besf Irish tenors that the United States ever produced. Another was Dennis Day, who was born in The Bronx as Owen Patrick Mcnulty. Exceptional voices both of them.

Thank you for posting. Olcott wrote this classic (as well as "Mother Machree" and "My Wild Irish Rose") along with Ernest Ball.
