Arthur C. Clough was an American tenor and vaudeville artist. He made recordings from 1908 to 1915. His records did not sell well.

He possessed a good tenor voice at a time when competition was fierce. Many superb tenors were making records when Clough was hired by three companies (Victor, Columbia, and Edison).

Clough’s voice did not stand out, and he specialized in singing sentimental fare that has not endured the test of time with the possible exception of “Put On Your Old Gray Bonnet.”

His first disc was “Somebody That I Know and You Know Too,” issued on Victor 5527 in 1908. On Victor 17412, he sings “When I Dream of Old Erin,” issued in 1913.

His first Columbia disc was A778: “Put On Your Old Gray Bonnet,” issued in 1909. He recorded for Columbia as late as 1914.

He also made Edison cylinders, such as “Let Me Call You Sweetheart.” He can be heard on two Edison Diamond Discs.

Clough was a member of the Brunswick Quartet, which made Columbia recordings before Brunswick records were issued.

Jim Walsh wrote about Clough in the June and July 1968 issues of Hobbies, or at least Walsh tried to write about the tenor, but he had no specific information about the singer himself. Walsh was only able to write about titles recorded and when items were issued. Nothing is known about Clough’s career after 1915, when he stopped making records. He was in no sense a recording star or vaudeville sensation.
