William Dory
William Dory was an American Yiddish-language recording artist with a brief career at the start of the twentieth century.
His repertoire consisted mainly of Yiddish Theatre music and novelty songs recorded on Wax cylinders for Edison Records. Although little is known about his personal or professional life, he was one of the first Yiddish-language recording artists in the United States. After he made eleven recordings for Edison, he was replaced on their roster by Frank Seiden, who re-recorded Dory's general material on the new black-wax moulded cylinders, and some specific titles of his as well.
