He was a choirboy at All Saints, Margaret St, London, and a student at the RAM. He was organist-choirmaster at the Chelsea Barracks 1894-6 and at St Mary Magdalen Munster Square, 1896-1903. After 1902, when he sang at a St James Hall Ballad Concert in London, he became known as a baritone of rare musicianship. In 1905, along with Mary Garden, Nellie Melba, and Giovanni Zenatello, he was commanded by Edward VII to sing at Windsor Castle at a state concert in honour of the King of Greece. He toured the USA in 1908 and, with Albani, the British Isles in 1909, and was described as Great Britain’s greatest baritone. https://greatsingersofthepast.wordpress.com/2018/02/10/dalton-baker-baritone/ (2022) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHSkeyte 2/4/2013 RAHAKirkbride 12/7/2022 4de56118-7905-45fa-b6c4-c5f3b00a477f
