Joseph P. Skelly
His works are notable because they are in major collections and because notable artists recorded the songs more than a decade after his death. As this entry states. FloridaArmy (talk) 19:22, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
- Not sure why you ignored my comments, but again, his songs are in several major collections. His somgs have been performed and recorded many years after his death by notable musicians. I believe there's a difference between arranging a song and composing it's words and music. FloridaArmy (talk) 08:10, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Joseph Paul Skelly, also abbreviated J. P. Skelley, (29 July 1850 — 23 June 1895) was a composer of music.[1][2] He arranged the music for songs published as sheet music. For other songs he composed the words and music. The Lester S. Levy Sheet Music Collection at Johns Hopkins University has sheet music for many of the songs he composed.[3] The Library of Congress has several of his works in its collection.[4] His song "Little Darling, Dream of Me" was recorded by the Climax Quartet on Climax Records (an early Columbia Records label).[5] He wrote the song "A Boy's Best Friend Is His Mother".[6] It was sung by William Raymond of Thatcher, Primrose and West's Minstrels.[7] Vernon Dalhart recorded the song at Columbia Records in 1925.[8]
He was born in Ireland and died in New York City. He wrote more than 1,000 songs.[9]
He wrote the 1876 comical Irish musical sketch The Hash Brigade.[10][1] Various artists including Ernest Pike and Elizabeth Spencer recorded his songs on cylinders in the decades after his death.[11]
