John Yorke AtLee (also spelled At Lee, or Atlee) was one of the first
"stars" of the recording
A popular novelty, whistling recorded very well on early phonographic recording equipment and the records were big sellers throughout the 1890s up through the mid-1900s.
This late recording by AtLee features his characteristic "singing" style along with whistling choruses.
