Sir Echo

Bio

"Little Sir Echo" is a song originally composed in 1917 by John Sylvester Fearis with lyrics by Laura Rountree Smith. It became popular in the 1920s and 1930s as children's camp song. In 1939, Adele Girard and Joe Marsala wrote a revised version with a new arrangement and additional verse; the revised version was recorded by at least 22 artists in 1939, including versions by Horace Heidt, Bing Crosby, Gene Autry, Doris Day, Guy Lombardo, and other big bands. It became one of the biggest hits of 1939 and has since been covered by additional artists, including Jonah Jones with Roy Eldridge, Jerry Lewis, Louis Prima, Joe Williams, The Bonzo Dog Band, and The Wiggles
