In researching the career of James Melvin "Jimmie" Lunceford I was shocked and saddened to learn it is believed he was murdered by poisoning in 1947 by a racist Oregon restaurant owner. Those just now inquiring about this gifted orchestra leader will also be learning about the Cotton Club and vocalist Myra Johnson.

This is an entertainment history treasure and I salute you for sharing.

@raynefallz1 Thanks - Jimmie Lunceford is one of my 2 favorite bandleaders (Artie Shaw's the other) & his appearance here was the initial draw in my interest in this movie.

Got plenty of Jimmie's 78's posted as well - if you're interested, just hop to my channel page & look up "Unpacking SwingMan's Lunceford Suitcase" in my playlists. :)

My grandfather was a record store owner. He was alive to be around the song's heyday and he said it sold a lot of copies at his store and he would have to order more.
