"The Roses, The Robins, and You" is sung by Harvey Hindermeyer & Donald Chalmers on Edison Gold Moulded Record 10569 (1912).
Harvey Wilson Hindermyer (sometimes spelled "Hindermeyer") was born in Easton, Pennsylvania, in 1882.
He possessed a sweet tenor voice and made recordings from 1907 to 1922.
His father was of German and his mother of Bohemian descent. Their names were P. A. and Laura Hindermyer.
The singer's surname was ill-suited for records being marketed around 1918 since America was at war with Germany, so Diamond Discs issued at this time used his first two names, Harvey Wilson.
The tenor studied music primarily in Philadelphia and went on to sing in musical festivals, oratorios, concerts, operettas and song recitals in all major cities east of the Mississippi.
In 1905, he married Gertude Miller.
His debut recording, an Edison two-minute cylinder featuring "She Was a Grand Old Lady" (9614), was issued in August 1907. Almost three years passed before Hindermyer made another record for Edison, "Hello, Mr. Moonman, Hello!" being issued on wax Amberol 348 in February 1910.
He eventually became important to Edison but in the meanwhile he worked for other companies.
The tenor appeared in the Columbia lists in 1908 on the following single-faced ten-inch discs, soon afterwards reissued in the double-faced format: "Maxim's" (3761), "Don't Leave the Old Folks, Jennie" (3781), and "Come to the Land of Bohemia" (3900). "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" (3917), issued in the fall of 1908, was among Columbia's last single-sided discs.
Hindermyer made Columbia records for about three years, "When a Boy from Old New Hampshire Loves a Girl from Tennessee" being issued in February 1911. He was again on a Columbia disc as one of the Gold Dust Twins with the February 1927 release of "Susan Jane" backed by "Stop That Knocking at the Door" (820-D).
His first two Victor records were listed in the December 1908 supplement, "When Jack Comes Sailing Home" (5598) and "There's Nothing in the World Like Love" (5599). In November 1915, the last Hindermyer solos on a Victor disc were issued: "Dearie Girl (Do You Miss Me?)" backed by "That's the Song of Songs for Me" (17857). The tenor continued his association with Victor for a year beginning in 1917 as a member of the new Shannon Four. He was replaced within a year by Lewis James (a Paramount Records advertisement in the May 1918 issue of Talking Machine World includes a photograph of the Shannon Four, James being among the singers).
Hindermyer recorded several titles for the Cleveland-based U. S. Phonograph Company, which made U-S Everlasting cylinders from 1909 to 1914. He also recorded for Rex and Imperial around 1915.
He worked mostly for the Edison company from February 1910 onwards, not only making records but giving help behind the scenes as a recording assistant.
