Hoagland Howard "Hoagy" Carmichael (Nov.22,1899 - Dec.27,1981) was an American composer, pianist, singer, actor, and bandleader. He is best known for writing the melody to "Stardust" (1927), one of the most-recorded American songs of all time.Carmichael spelled it "Star Dust", but the space is usually omitted.

Alec Wilder, in his study of the American popular song, concluded that Hoagy Carmichael was the "most talented, inventive, sophisticated and jazz-oriented" of the hundreds of writers composing pop songs in the first half of the 20th century.

  • Wish this and all the Hoagy Carmichael songs and music were popular now. I am grateful for this "you tube" [old] performance. It is sad that that these old favorites are not heard today.

  • How should one paint a rembrandt-like picture, when he only got the idea of smashin´ tar against walls? Thats the same as it is with todays music: if you only know loops and one harmony, real music must be a mistery...

  • @MrSouthphillyitalian nahhh this kid can listen to what he wants

  • Oí esta canción por primera vez en 1963 interpretada por Bing Crosby.  siempre tuve curiosidad de quien la habría compuesto y ahora lo veo en U tube. De una época en que la música era eso no ruido. Gracias por subirla. Jorge Mario

  • Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm speechless..
