Kurz Bio:
Der Komiker, Komödiant, Novelty-Sänger, Banjo-Spieler und Songwriter Freddy Morgan wurde am 7. November 1910 in New York City als Frederick Morgenstern geboren und verstarb am 21. Dezember 1970 in Alameda, Kalifornien. Der Name sagt uns zwar auf Anhieb relativ wenig, aber als wichtiges Mitglied der
Spike Jones-Band (links klicken), der Sunnysiders und
Banjo Maniacs (links klicken), sowie als Autor des „Japanischen Abschiedsliedes” werden wir ihn sicherlich das eine oder andere Mal bereits überlesen haben.
