His classic songs "Stardust", "Georgia on My Mind", "Heart and Soul", and numerous others have been recorded by artists as diverse as Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, Aretha Franklin, Jerry Garcia, Dizzy Gillespie, Jerry Lee Lewis, Willie Nelson, Charlie Parker, Paul Robeson, and Mel Torme.
Expand description
This book combines for the first time Carmichael's two autobiographies, The Stardust Road (1945) and Sometimes I Wonder (1965), with the addition of eight pages of new photos. Here you will find reminiscences of his childhood and education in Indiana; his musical collaborations with Bix Beiderbecke, Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, and Johnny Mercer; and his acting career. More than just the story of an extraordinary life and career, these memoirs convey the excitement and energy of the early days of jazz.
