Hoagland Howard "Hoagy" Carmichael (November 22, 1899 – December 27, 1981) was an American musician, composer, songwriter, actor, author and lawyer. Carmichael is best known for composing four of the most-recorded American songs of all time: "Stardust" (1927), "Georgia on My Mind" (1930), "The Nearness of You" (1937) and "Heart and Soul" (1938).[2]
Carmichael's "Ole Buttermilk Sky" (1946) was nominated for an Academy Award. Four years later, "In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening," won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1951.
Carmichael died of a heart attack at a hospital in Rancho Mirage, California, on December 27, 1981, at age 82.[3][4][5][6]
