Lyn Murray was born Lionel Breeze on December 6, 1909 in London, England. He was a conductor and composer for stage, screen, and radio. He was the leader of The Lyn Murray Singers, and director of The Decca Mixed Chorus. He died May 20, 1989 (age 79) in Los Angeles, California.
The Lyn Murray Singers were a choral group founded and directed by Lyn Murray that recorded with Columbia, Decca, and Victor and appeared regularly on radio shows like "The Texaco Star Theatre" and "Your Hit Parade" in the 1940s. Not identical with the Lyn Murray Orchestra, although both were conducted by the same man and sometimes performed together.
Note: The first 78 RPM record came into existence around 1894, and in 1912 the Gramophone Company established 78 rotations per minute as their recording standard. The production of shellac records continued throughout the 78 rpm era, with "non-breakable" 78 rpm vinyl records being introduced in the 1940s. The popularity of the 33 1/3 rpm "Long Play" record, initially released in 1948, caused the 78 rpm record to become obsolete before the end of the 1950s. As these 78 rpm recordings are quite old, they may contain derogatory language and/or negative stereotypes. It is important to evaluate such recordings within their historical context and consider them as a reflection of the attitudes prevalent at the time. These recordings form an integral part of the historical record and do not represent the views of this poster, channel, or Bowness Arts.
