Harry Fragson

Harry Fragson (2 July 1869 – 31 December 1913), born Léon Philippe Pot, was a British music hall singer, songwriter and comedian. Born in London of French parentage, he moved to Paris, where he developed an act imitating French music hall performers. The act was popular, and allowed him to introduce his own material. He returned to London in 1905, and became popular in pantomime. He is perhaps best known for his song "Hello, Hello, Who's Your Lady Friend?" which he recorded shortly before his death in 1913, when he was shot by his father in Paris.
==Links to Peel==
Peel played Fragson's tune, 'The Other Department, Please', on his 7th August 1982 show, where he described recordings of old music hall artistes that were supposed to be funny were terribly unfunny by contemporary standards. In 1999, he added Fragson's song, 'Hello, Hello, Who's Your Lady Friend', as one of the songs for the Peelenium 1913.
