[78-L] Youngest recording artist

[DAVID BURNHAM]

So, Davey Lee (Sonny Boy in "The Singing Fool") was 4 when he recorded Sonny 
Boy's Bear Story for Brunswick in September 1929 (born January 5, 1925 if Rust 
is correct). Not that anybody cares, but are there any younger featured 
performers on record? Not giggling infants, and the kid on Phil Harris's 
"One-zy Two-zy"
 might count if we knew who she was (I was never able to find 
out if it was Phil and Alice's kid). And not anything recorded on a home machine.

You didn't specify 78s so I'll offer Jo Stafford's Christmas album, "Happy Holidays" from June of 1955, (it may even have come out on 78s).  There is a contribution from Stafford's and Paul Weston's son, Tim Weston, who was born in November of 1952, so at the time of this recording, he had not yet reached his 3rd birthday.  Tim Weston subsequently became a musician and record producer and is the managing director of Corinthian Records, the company which produced the CD re-issue of this recording.
