Earliest Voice Talent Ever

     The folks at the National Park Service have managed to "play" what is believed to be the oldest example of a voice recorded for a commercial purpose....127 years ago.

 
   It was a Thomas Edison recording of a woman reading "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to be built into a doll...the world's first talking doll in 1888. Unfortunately for Edison, he was, as usual, way ahead of his time, and that business venture failed.
     You can listen to the recording and read the story on the National Park Service website.
