Taken from Party With The Rovers 1988
The Irish Rovers is a group of Irish musicians, half of whom now live in Canada. The Irish folk group created in 1963 and named after the traditional song "The Irish Rover" is best known for their international television series, contributing to the popularization of Irish Music in North America, and for the songs "The Unicorn", "Drunken Sailor", "Wasn't That a Party", "The Orange and the Green", "Whiskey on a Sunday", "Lily the Pink" and "The Black Velvet Band".
The primary voices heard in the group's early songs were Will Millar (tenor), Jimmy Ferguson (baritone), George Millar and Joe Millar, and in the last twenty years, also John Reynolds and Ian Millar. Wilcil McDowell's accordion has been a signature sound of the band throughout their more than fifty years.
This is from the 1995 video "The Irish Rovers - Alive and Well". The is the ONLY song I am EVER posting from this video, as it is still available through www.IrishRovers.info. This is my favorite song by Jimmy Ferguson and I think this is a great version. A tribute to "Big" Jimmy...you are sorely missed. The only bad part is that this was filmed after Will Millar left the band.

I have acquired a British FILMOPHONE record, No 353. The song titles are 'When It's Sleepy Time Down South' and 'Linda'.
The singer, according to the label on both sides is 'Jimmy Ferguson' (& Orchestra).
I was expecting to hear a British singer, and presumed 'Jimmy Ferguson' to be a pseudonym. But these are clearly American recordings and the singer displays a very convincing Jazz 'feel' that in certain passages suggests an African-American performer.
The accompanying musicians are most likely to be white New Yorkers, and the guitarist's style is very like that of Eddie Lang. There's some good 'hot' trumpet soloing too - particularly on 'Linda'.
Interestingly, there was a real 'Jimmy Ferguson'; an African-American entertainer/dancer who appeared in 'Chocolate Dandies' on Broadway with Noble Sissle & Eubie Blake and then in London, England in 'Virginia', at the Palace Theatre (1928). He then toured Britain and Europe in variety eventually returning to the USA in
1932.
A 1930 Pathe SILENT film of Jimmy Ferguson in London can be viewed at the link below. According to the notes, he is singing 'Rollin' Down The River' (Fats Waller's composition)
http://www.britishpathe.com/video/jimmy-ferguson/
On his return to the USA, Jimmy Ferguson was contracted by Irving Mills to lead the 'Mills Blue Rhythm Band' using the pseudonym, 'Baron Lee'. Their records were subsequently labelled 'Baron Lee & the Blue Rhythm Band'.
Jimmy Ferguson (as 'Baron Lee') can be seen conducting the 'Blue Rhythm Band' here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sC4q8WDMK4
My Filmophone may or may not feature the real Jimmy Ferguson, but without other vocal recordings to compare, it can't be ruled out. The 'real' Jimmy Ferguson must have been fairly well known in the UK. He'd appeared in a London's West End musical, toured theatres, and even featured in a Pathe newsreel. So if it's not the real Jimmy Ferguson on my Filmopnone, how could this British label have chosen 'Jimmy Ferguson' as a pseudonym for another singer?
I have my own theory that on returning to the USA in 1932 about to assume his knew 'Baron Lee' identity, Jimmy Ferguson recorded these sides for exclusive issue in the UK. It's not difficult to imagine that his contract with Irving Mills may have forbidden the use of his real name for performances and recordings within the USA. (USA recordings made exclusively for the British market were not uncommon then.)
Unfortunately, Filmophone records featuring American recordings tended to be dubbings. So other than Filmophone's own identification numbering system, there are no visible USA matrix numbers in the pressings to identify the source.
I'd be very grateful for suggestions/opinions as to who the singer is, and what the USA source for these sides is. As my theory suggests, they may not have been issued in the USA at all.

Jimmy Ferguson
James Francis "Jimmy" Ferguson (February 26, 1940 – October 8, 1997) was a founding member of the Irish-Canadian folk group The Irish Rovers. He was the only member who did not play an instrument. He sang in a rich baritone voice, in contrast to Will Millar's tenor, and was also the comedian of the group.
Ferguson was born in Belfast to a Roman Catholic family. He emigrated to Canada as a young man, and met George Millar in 1963 at an Irish function in Toronto. They decided to form a folk duo and the following year were joined by Millar's cousin, Joe Millar. After touring the province of Ontario, they recruited Millar's brother, Will, in Calgary, and adopted the name The Irish Rovers.
Ferguson's voice is heard in several Irish Rovers recordings, including "The Orange and the Green" and the 1981 hit "Wasn't That a Party". The heavy-set Ferguson suffered a heart attack in New Zealand in 1992 and continued to have heart problems for the rest of his life. He died while on tour in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1997 at the age of 57.

Taken from Party With The Rovers 1988
The Irish Rovers is a group of Irish musicians, half of whom now live in Canada. The Irish folk group created in 1963 and named after the traditional song "The Irish Rover" is best known for their international television series, contributing to the popularization of Irish Music in North America, and for the songs "The Unicorn", "Drunken Sailor", "Wasn't That a Party", "The Orange and the Green", "Whiskey on a Sunday", "Lily the Pink" and "The Black Velvet Band".
The primary voices heard in the group's early songs were Will Millar (tenor), Jimmy Ferguson (baritone), George Millar and Joe Millar, and in the last twenty years, also John Reynolds and Ian Millar. Wilcil McDowell's accordion has been a signature sound of the band throughout their more than fifty years.

This is from the 1995 video "The Irish Rovers - Alive and Well". The is the ONLY song I am EVER posting from this video, as it is still available through www.IrishRovers.info. This is my favorite song by Jimmy Ferguson and I think this is a great version. A tribute to "Big" Jimmy...you are sorely missed. The only bad part is that this was filmed after Will Millar left the band.

I have acquired a British FILMOPHONE record, No 353. The song titles are 'When It's Sleepy Time Down South' and 'Linda'.
The singer, according to the label on both sides is 'Jimmy Ferguson' (& Orchestra).
I was expecting to hear a British singer, and presumed 'Jimmy Ferguson' to be a pseudonym. But these are clearly American recordings and the singer displays a very convincing Jazz 'feel' that in certain passages suggests an African-American performer.
The accompanying musicians are most likely to be white New Yorkers, and the guitarist's style is very like that of Eddie Lang. There's some good 'hot' trumpet soloing too - particularly on 'Linda'.
Interestingly, there was a real 'Jimmy Ferguson'; an African-American entertainer/dancer who appeared in 'Chocolate Dandies' on Broadway with Noble Sissle & Eubie Blake and then in London, England in 'Virginia', at the Palace Theatre (1928). He then toured Britain and Europe in variety eventually returning to the USA in
1932.
A 1930 Pathe SILENT film of Jimmy Ferguson in London can be viewed at the link below. According to the notes, he is singing 'Rollin' Down The River' (Fats Waller's composition)
http://www.britishpathe.com/video/jimmy-ferguson/
On his return to the USA, Jimmy Ferguson was contracted by Irving Mills to lead the 'Mills Blue Rhythm Band' using the pseudonym, 'Baron Lee'. Their records were subsequently labelled 'Baron Lee & the Blue Rhythm Band'.
Jimmy Ferguson (as 'Baron Lee') can be seen conducting the 'Blue Rhythm Band' here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sC4q8WDMK4
My Filmophone may or may not feature the real Jimmy Ferguson, but without other vocal recordings to compare, it can't be ruled out. The 'real' Jimmy Ferguson must have been fairly well known in the UK. He'd appeared in a London's West End musical, toured theatres, and even featured in a Pathe newsreel. So if it's not the real Jimmy Ferguson on my Filmopnone, how could this British label have chosen 'Jimmy Ferguson' as a pseudonym for another singer?
I have my own theory that on returning to the USA in 1932 about to assume his knew 'Baron Lee' identity, Jimmy Ferguson recorded these sides for exclusive issue in the UK. It's not difficult to imagine that his contract with Irving Mills may have forbidden the use of his real name for performances and recordings within the USA. (USA recordings made exclusively for the British market were not uncommon then.)
Unfortunately, Filmophone records featuring American recordings tended to be dubbings. So other than Filmophone's own identification numbering system, there are no visible USA matrix numbers in the pressings to identify the source.
I'd be very grateful for suggestions/opinions as to who the singer is, and what the USA source for these sides is. As my theory suggests, they may not have been issued in the USA at all.

In 1977 the Irish Rovers taped two Specials in New Zealand as a co-production of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and NZ’s TV One. In this their second Special, Will Millar, George Millar, Jimmy Ferguson, Joe Millar, Wilcil McDowell and temporary Rover Bob O’Donovan performed in concert in the Town Hall in Christchurch with popular NZ guest stars Bill and Boyd and on location John Hore, The Band of the New Zealand Army with an unusual medley starting with Abba’s Mama Mia!

Jimmy Ferguson
James Francis "Jimmy" Ferguson (February 26, 1940 – October 8, 1997) was a founding member of the Irish-Canadian folk group The Irish Rovers. He was the only member who did not play an instrument. He sang in a rich baritone voice, in contrast to Will Millar's tenor, and was also the comedian of the group.
Ferguson was born in Belfast to a Roman Catholic family. He emigrated to Canada as a young man, and met George Millar in 1963 at an Irish function in Toronto. They decided to form a folk duo and the following year were joined by Millar's cousin, Joe Millar. After touring the province of Ontario, they recruited Millar's brother, Will, in Calgary, and adopted the name The Irish Rovers.
Ferguson's voice is heard in several Irish Rovers recordings, including "The Orange and the Green" and the 1981 hit "Wasn't That a Party". The heavy-set Ferguson suffered a heart attack in New Zealand in 1992 and continued to have heart problems for the rest of his life. He died while on tour in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1997 at the age of 57.
