Remembering Billy Strayhorn, born on this day (1915-1967).
William Thomas Strayhorn (November 29, 1915 – May 31, 1967), Billy Strayhorn, was an American jazz composer, pianist, lyricist, and arranger who collaborated with bandleader and composer Duke Ellington for nearly three decades. His compositions include "Take the 'A' Train", "Chelsea Bridge", "A Flower Is a Lovesome Thing", and "Lush Life".
On November 29, 1915, a child was born at the Miami Valley Hospital in the city of Dayton (Ohio). The baby had serious problems with rickets and the doctor who delivered the baby told his parents, Lilliam and William Thomas Strayhorn, that he had little chance of survival. They did not even bother to choose a name for him and on the birth certificate they only registered him as “boy” Strayhorn.
At five years old, “boy” Strayhorn was very little (he looked two years younger than he was), with a round face and quite cheeky. His parents decided to name him William and regularized the birth certificate. Meanwhile, the Strayhorns had settled in Pittsburg (Pennsylvania).
