FRANK C. STANLEY


Cantante norteamericano (Orange, New Jersey, 29-12-1868 - 12.12.1910), banjoista y pionero de la música grabada, muy popular entre finales de 1890s y principios de 1900s. William Stanley Grinsted grabó sus primeros solos de banjo para Edison Records en 1891, acompañó a Arthur Collins en algunos cilindros grabados a finales de la década y sus primeras canciones, ya utilizando el pseudónimo de Frank C. Stanley, fueron grabadas para la National Phonograph y la Norcross Phonograph, en 1898.

Considerado el mejor bajo de su época, grabó asiduamente para diversas compañías, entre ellas Columbia, Victor y Zonophone, entre 1901 y 1910, tanto en solitario como a dúo (con Corinne Morgan, Grace Nelson, Elise Stevenson, Harry MacdonoughByron G. Harlan, Henry Burr). También formó parte del Metropolitan Trio (junto con Stevenson y Burr), el Columbia Quartet, el Trinity Choir (Lyric Quartet, donde coincide con Macdonough) y el Peerless Quartet, reemplazando en 1906 a Tom Daniels (bajo) y asumiendo el liderazgo del grupo.
