Lit.: Gracyk, Tim: William F. Hooley. In web Tim Gracyk´s Phonographs, Singers and Old Records, 2006(?) (článek). - Cit.: An 1899 catalog of cylinders made by the Babson Brothers of Chicago lists items by „the Original Lyric Trio,“ which consisted of John C. Havens, Estella Louise Mann, and Hooley (the January 1899 issue of The Phonoscope not only cites these three as comprising the Original Lyric Trio but includes a photograph of Estella Mann singing into recording horns). When Berliner and Victor issued numbers by the Lyric Trio in 1900, it consisted of Mann (or possibly by this time soprano Grace Spencer), Hooley, and Harry Macdonough. Victor recordings of the Lyric Trio made in 1901 through 1903 were by Hooley, Macdonough, and Grace Spencer.

He recorded for Eldridge R. Johnson’s Consolidated Talking Machine Company–soon renamed the Victor Talking Machine Company–and often did announcements for the Haydn Quartet, Georgia Minstrels, and others. Recitations cut in June 1900 include „Lincoln’s Speech at Gettysburg“ and „Gladstone’s Speech on Self-Help.“ Another recitation of sorts was „Ravings of a Maniac,“ cut on June 7, 1900.
