Heywood was a jazz pianist and composer who recorded with “Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and the Andrews Sisters.” Winterhalter also composed and directed bands for celebrity singers (such as Dinah Shore) as well as for film and Broadway. Their R & B collaboration became a major hit (Baker’s Biographical Dictionary of Musicians).
