George Henry O'Connor (August 20, 1874 – September 28, 1946)[1] was an American lawyer, businessman and singer, described at the time of his death as "almost beyond a doubt the most popular man in Washington".
He was employed by the District of Columbia Title Insurance Company, becoming its vice-president in 1907 and then its president from 1941 until his death.
[2] At the same time as his legal career, he became a leading stage entertainer and recording artist.
Aged nine, in 1883, he was mentioned in the local press as a performer in a "juvenile masque carnival", and while at Georgetown was a leading member of the glee club.
By 1900, he had begun performing newly-fashionable "rag-time" music, and formed the Birenomore Quartette with three friends.
