Buddy Cole
Edwin Lemar "Buddy" Cole was born in 1916 in Irving, IL. He started his
career as a theater organist, but worked then with various big bands.
In the 40's and 50's, he was asked as studio musician, primarly for
vocalists as Tony Martin and Bing Crosby. Also, he was involved in
radio and TV shows.
In the 50's, Cole worked as an organist in the Mancini orchestra. He recorded a series of LPs (unfortunately the IAJO does not hold a discography of these albums) for Warner Brothers. In his last days, Buddy discovered his love for the pipe organ, and recorded the Pipe Organ Plus series on the organ which he had built in his home. He passed away in 1964. |
