Biography

William Dory was an American Yiddish-language recording artist with a brief career at the start of the twentieth century.

His repertoire consisted mainly of Yiddish Theatre music and novelty songs (1900-1901) recorded on Wax cylinder for Edison Records (aka National Phonograph Co.). Although little is known about his personal or professional life, he was one of the first Yiddish-language recording artists in the United States. After he made eleven recordings for Edison (listed in 2 annual catalogs), he was replaced on their roster by Frank Seiden, who re-recorded Dory's general material on the new black-wax moulded cylinders (1902), and some specific titles of his as well.
