Heres Round and Round Told By David Allen Row,Row, Row Your Boat & Come Follow,Follow Me from a 78 rpm shellac record produced for educational use with children probably in the early 1950s.
David Allen was a radio broadcaster who started broadcasting in the early 1940s doing poetry programmes on the radio in New York and Baltimore "Remembered Words " was a popular poetry programme he produced and narrated. I believe he also worked in films and television but I haven't found any biographical information about him beyond the scant information in the notes of the dozen or so vinyl records he recited poetry on up until the early 1970s. My video animation at this youtube link shows a photo of him from a vinyl album of Shakespeare’s sonnets he recited on youtu.be/cdaXH47eBWM
