Lew Sherwood

Born in 1903, and only an occasional screen performer, the Canadian Sherwood became the featured vocalist with Eddy Duchin and his orchestra during the band's greatest years, from 1933 to 1941, and he was the band's primary trumpet soloist and its musical arranger. He remained Duchin's close friend and confidant until Duchin's death. Sherwood died in the U.S. in 1971, and his body is buried in Providence, Rhode Island.
