Biography

William F. Denny (also known as Will F. Denny) was born in late 1859 or more likely in 1860 in Boston,[1][2] to James and Elizabeth Denny.[3] He gained fame performing on vaudeville stages,[1] specializing in comic numbers.[2] His first recordings were made in 1891 for the New England Phonograph Company.[4] Beginning in May 1898 his popularity was such that he signed an exclusive recording contract with Columbia that was in effect for one year.[2] He had a singular recording session for Victor Records on September 11, 1901.[2] His last records were made for the Zonophone company. He died in Seattle on October 2, 1908 of atherosclerosis,[5] while touring on the Pantages vaudeville circuit, and was buried in Philadelphia.[2]
