James Thornton (songwriter)
James Thornton (December 5, 1861 – July 27, 1938) was an American songwriter and vaudeville performer. He is primarily remembered today as the composer of the 1898 song, "When You Were Sweet Sixteen".
==Career==
Thornton started his career as a "singing waiter" in Boston, Massachusetts, and then achieved success with his wife, Elisabeth "Bonnie" Cox, in music halls throughout the US as what was then called a "serio-comic" or "monologist" (essentially a stand-up comic) and singer. During his career, he also performed in a vaudeville team with Charles B. Lawlor.
Thornton's compositions included: "When You Were Sweet Sixteen", "She May Have Seen Better Days", "The Irish Jubilee", "Two Little Girls in Blue", "When Summer Comes Around", "It Don’t Seem Like the Same Old Smile", "My Sweetheart's the Man in the Moon", and the 1893 song, "The Streets of Cairo", composed for the Chicago World’s Fair of that year.
Thornton’s last public appearance was in 1934 at the Forrest Theater in New York City.
