A little slice of American history from the Edison Black Maria studio from November of 1894, shows the real life Annie Oakley, shooting fixed targets and tossed glass balls. Truly a fascinating little piece of film that bridges the real Wild West with a theme that was to run through countless fictional movies in the century to follow. The only problem I had with this was her close proximity to the targets. Tags:annieoakleyfrontierhistory Added: 13th August 2007 Views: 462 Rating: Posted By:Naomi
Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes, was #1 in the UK in Jan '70, and #5 in the US in February of '70. That smash hit proved to be so successful that Edison recorded other songs under other group names which duplicated the sensation of their first hit together.
As White Plains, their single of My Baby Loves Lovin' reached #13 in the US and #9 in the UK. Under the name of The Brotherhood Of Man, their United We Stand reached #13 in the US and #1 in the UK in 1970. Whatever works!

This is for the real old timers.I went to his museum in West Orange N.J. in the early 60's and one of his actual former employees gave the tour!It's one thing I want to revisit. I actually heard Mary Had A Little Lamb.The 1st recording played back; with Edisons voice which led to the 1st phonograph.The museum is now run by the U.S.National Park System.
