The singer who recorded the first song about the Titanic was not a famous artist of the time, but rather a relatively unknown singer from the United States.

The song, titled "Nearer, My God, to Thee," was recorded by a man named John Stout in 1912, just a few weeks after the ship's sinking. The song was a traditional hymn that was often sung by passengers on the Titanic, and Stout's recording was likely inspired by the tragedy. This early recording is now considered a rare and valuable artifact in the history of music.
