The very first overdubbed recording was done by Sidney Bichet, the legendary soprano saxophonist.

He had all the parts arranged in his head, played all instruments and sang one after the other using the ping pong method, in which you cannot make a single mistake or you have to start over again from the beginning.

This was before any of the aforementioned people were born, I think, or at least they couldn't have been much more'n knee high to a grasshopper at the time.
