Biography
Baltimore, 28 August 1872: the day A. Baldwin Sloane first drew breath, and with it the music that would one day travel from Tin Pan Alley to wartime movie houses. Scores for Broadway’s brightest revues, melodies that slipped into Parisian television via Trente-Six Chandelles (1954), and strains that echoed again in La légende (1996) all bear his fingerprints—even when the man himself had already left the stage. His final curtain fell quietly in Red Bank, New Jersey, on 21 February 1925, yet the tunes he set in motion kept humming long after the footlights dimmed.
