Jan Hoagy Carmichael composed Stardust, one of the most popular tunes in the jazz and popular music repertoire. In this four-part series, Mel Hill examines the career of the pianist, singer, composer and bandleader who died in 1981 at the age of 82. Although he studied law at university, music was Hoagy Carmichael 's first love and on meeting trumpeter
Bix Beiderbecke he was inspired to write Riverboat Shuffle for Bix and his group, the Wolverines. The trumpeter introduced him to Paul
Whiteman, and soon the Whiteman orchestra recorded Hoagy's Washboard Blues.
