[78-L] Youngest to record on 78 rpm (was Alicia de Larrocha, RIP)

[Kristjan Saag]

OK. Davey Lee (who played Sonny Boy" in "The Singing Fool" 1928) wasn't yet 
five when he recorded "Sonny Boy's Bear Story" in 1929...

But the subject of the quiz is: who's the youngest living person TODAY who 
recorded on 78 rpm in his/her own name (on a commercial issue and, perhaps, 
not part of a children's choir etc)?
The toddler on "Baby Sitting Boogie" (if there exists a 1961 Indian pressing 
of it) would probably win the anonymous voice race ...

Sugar Chile Robinson on Capitol in 1949 with Numbers Boogie and Caldonia. He 
was still 10 when they were recorded.

And this can go well into the sixties. Any kids who may have appeared on
late
Golden or Disneyland records could still be under fifty at this point.
