Robert Wilson (2 January 1907 – 25 September 1964) was a Scottish tenor. After beginning his career with the Rothesay Entertainers in Scotland, Wilson joined the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, with whom he performed from 1931 to 1937. He then began a long solo career in concerts, radio, variety and recording, becoming known especially for his performances of Scottish songs.
Wilson became a solo artist, heading his own concert party singing Scottish ballads for several years on tour throughout Britain. He also continued in demand as a recording artist, signing with HMV in 1943. His recordings of such Scottish songs as "A Gordon for Me" and "Down in the Glen" were big sellers. He became a well-known variety performer and in the 1950s he was an early presenter of the White Heather Club and recorded with them.

  2. Thanks for finding the lost volumes! With my occupation involving quality assurance, I can't but help let people know when things go missing or there is a gap in volume numbers. If you owned a grocery store, I would be the guy who picks up things that others have dropped, puts things back when they are left where they should not be, and quite possibly would even 'front' your shelves to make them look tidy. Keep up the great work!
