Misty

His piece Misty, which he allegedly composed between two concerts on the plane, immediately became one of the great jazz standards and is still one of the most covered ballads in the world today. Who was the man behind the ever-friendly smile from the ghettos of Pittsburgh, whose talent took him to the biggest international stages?
"Ladies and gentlemen, the man for whom the piano was invented: Mr. Erroll Garner!"
