Michael Maybrick was a hugely popular singer and composer in the
Victorian era, who is virtually forgotten today – for reasons that
Robinson believes are no accident. He was particularly well known for
his sentimental seafaring songs, written under the pen name Stephen
Adams, among them Nancy Lee, the sheet music of which sold more than
100,000 copies in two years, and – ironically – They All Love Jack,
which was written in 1887, the year before the Ripper killings began.
His composition The Holy City sold more than one million copies, making
it the best-selling song of the 19th century. Both Vera Lynn and Charlotte Church have recorded versions of the song.
