HOAGY CARMICHAEL
Photograph signed: "Sincerely -/Hoagy Carmichael". B/w, 9x7¾. While
studying to be a lawyer at Indiana University, Hoagy Carmichael (1899-1981)
wrote two tunes, "Washboard Blues" and "Boneyard Shuffle", for a band called
Curtis Hitch's Happy Harmonists. The songs were recorded (with Carmichael on
piano) for Gennett Records in 1924. In 1952, the composer won the Academy
Award for Best Song for "In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening". Other
songs written by Carmichael include the standards, "Stardust", "Georgia on My
Mind" and "Heart and Soul". Carmichael, who occasionally performed his songs
(accompanying himself on the piano or sometimes the trumpet), appeared as a
character actor in 14 films, including To Have and Have Not
(1944), which starred Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall (in her movie debut).
Minor surface creases (not evident head-on). Defects from original negative have
reproduced at left background. Fine condition.
