peter dawson

Peter Dawson (1882-1961) was an Australian bass/baritone in the 1920s and 1930s when he was possibly the most popular singer of that era. Dawson made his first recording in 1904, and continued to release songs for EMI and HMV until 1958. In this time he performed classical tunes such as Tchaikovsky's "Don Juan Serenade" and popular songs like "Waltzing Matilda". He was the subject of a biography, Peter Dawson: The World's Most Popular Baritone written by Peter Burgis and Russell Smith. His most famous songs included:

"We Saw the Sea"
"On the Road to Mandalay"
"The Mountains of Mourne"
"Pride of Tipperary"
"Waltzing Matilda"
"The Kerry Dance"
"The Fleet's Not in Port Very Long"
"Father O'Flynn"
"When the Sergeant-Major's on Parade"
"The Floral Dance"
