Here's a virtual movie of the brilliant English Baritone Clive Carey performing the popular English folk song "I Will Give My Love an Apple" The sound recording comes from a rare 78 rpm shellac record probably recorded during the late 1920's from my collection and can be seen playing in its entirety on my beloved HMV 109 Gramophone at my videocurios youtube channel at this link.
