Biography
Speaks started his career as a railroad clerk at a station in Columbus, Ohio, until he decided to pursue his musical passions. He was a fine baritone singer in churches at Columbus before he moved to New York City in 1898 and started taking lessons. One of his voice teachers was the American soprano Emma Thursby. Speaks had a successful career as a singer, touring the US giving recitals and also appearing in oratorios.Speaks began to write songs, much of his output being on religious themes. He studied composition with Will Macfarlane and Max Spicker. In 1907, he wrote On the Road to Mandalay using the words of Rudyard Kipling's poem "Mandalay", which sold over one million copies; distinguished American baritone Robert Merrill has a recording of Sylvia, and Irish tenor John McCormack has recordings of all three famous titles available on CD. More recently, American baritone Thomas Hampson has also recorded On the Road to Mandalay.
Speaks was a prominent member of ASCAP, where he was elected Director 1924 – 1943
