Mary O'Rourke was born with a unique and beautiful voice winning many talent contests. Her uncle taught her how to impersonate a boy singer to replace one who worked for him whose voice had broken. In 1933, Crystalate Records of London signed her up, billing her as "Master Joe Peterson, the Phenomenal Boy Singer"! She became a big name, in Britain and on the continent. This beautiful album - her first ever - shows her amaxing voice at its very best from the original Crystalate Company's "Rex" masters.
