New York — Band leader and
clarinetist, Benny Goodman, who
earned the appellation the "King
of Swing," died June 13 at age 77.
The first top band leader to
bring black musicians onto his
bandstand, Mr. Goodman held
the reins in the field of jazz in the
1930s and 1.940s.
Born in Chicago, Mr. Goodman
first picked up a clarinet at age
10, when a local synagogue lent
instruments and gave lessons. He
later joined Ben Pollack's
Chicago band and went to
Broadway where he free-lanced
in the theaters and on radio and
in recording studios.
Producer-critic John Ham-
mond Jr. helped him start his
first big band and in 1933 Mr.
Goodman recorded his first hit
record and had a national radio
show.
It was his move to California in
the mid-1930s which boosted him
to musical prominence. Follow-
ing his success in the "swing era,"
Mr. Goodman began performing
in classical concerts.
His life was depicted in the
1955 Hollywood film, The Benny
Goodman Story, and in 1959 he
published his autobiography, The
Kingdom of Swing.
In later years, he toured the
Soviet Union and Europe and
made his last Detroit appearance
in 1981.
