Eugene Stratton was a major British music-hall and vaudeville performer famous for Negro dialect songs and entertainments popular in the 1890s-1910s. 'Lily of Laguna' (marking 1911) and 'I may be crazy' on His Master's Voice (HMV C556) represent his recordings from the early twentieth century, and are historically significant examples of early commercial recording.
