Description
English: "Come Down Ma Evenin' Star" from John Stromberg's Twirly Whirly (1902), performed by Lillian Russell. During the production of Twirly Whirly, John Stromberg delayed giving Lillian Russell her solo for several days, saying it wasn't ready. When he committed suicide a few days before the first rehearsal, the sheet music for Come Down Ma Evenin' Star was found in his pocket. It became Lillian Russell's signature song, and is the only one she is known to have recorded.
Українська: Пісня «Зійди, моя вечірня зоре», написана Джоном Стромбергом у 1902 році, виконує Ліліан Рассел. Запис 1912 року.
