Whit Cunliffe
Whit Cunliffe (1876-1966) was an English comic singer known for the outfits worn during his stage performances〔Paul Bailey ''Three Queer Lives: An Alternative Biography of Fred Barnes, Naomi Jacob and Arthur Marshall'' Hamish Hamilton 2001 ISBN 0-241-13455-2, ISBN 978-0-241-13455-9
242 pages page 47〕 and his World War I song "Hoch, Hoch Der Kaiser" and other songs including "What Does it Matter to Me?" (1906) and "A Different Girl Again". Cunliffe was described as being a bit of a dandy.〔W. J. MacQueen-Pope. (''The Melodies Linger On: the Story of Music Hall'' ), Allen, 1950〕
Like a number of other Music Hall stars, he chose to sing slightly risqué songs (like "Tight skirts have got to go" or "Let's have free trade amongst the girls"). His songs often also referred to political questions of the day and have a generally conservative tone ("Do you believe in women's rights?" "Blame it on poor old lloyd George." "You'll get on in England if you're not an Englishman".) Generally, his political songs were conservative in outlook. His 1914 song "Tow the row row" for example both laughs at the forced feeding in prison of suffragettes a couple of years earlier, and denounces the Social Insurance laws put in place by Lloyd George's government in 1911.
Cunliffe was an enthusiastic supporter of the First World War and was involved in a great many concerts raising money to help the war drive.
Cunliffe was referred to as the last surviving member of the Lions Comiques,〔Christopher Pulling ''They Were Singing'' G. G. Harrap 1952
276 pages (page 60)〕 the first great music hall singers,.〔Dave Russell Popular Music in England, 1840-1914 () page 88〕 "Whit Cunliffe and Charles Whittle were indeed great singers of great songs and the epitome of what made Music Hall".〔
