Meade "Lux" Lewis
American jazz pianist. Born in September 1905 (on September 3rd, 4th, or 13th, according to various sources) in Louisville, Kentucky. Lewis was hit and killed by a drunk driver after a performance on June 7, 1964. A 1927 rendition of “Honky Tonky Train Blues” on the Paramount Records label was his recording debut. He also appeared in the movies “New Orleans” (1947) and “Nightmare” (1956).
