The comic strip Dick Tracy made its debut in the Detroit Mirror on
Sunday, October 4, 1931 as Plainclothes Tracy. It was created by
Chester Gould who wrote and drew the popular strip until 1977.

Cartoonist Chester Gould (November 20, 1900 – May 11, 1985)

William James "Count" Basie (August 21, 1904 – April 26, 1984)

Swing-era bandleader Count Basie is noted for his theme songs One O’clock
Jump from 1937 and April in Paris from 1932. He originally wanted to be a 
drummer, but took up the piano at age 15.

Shortly before his death, Jimmy Dorsey was awarded a gold record for
"So Rare" which was recorded on November 11, 1956. There remains
a controversy over who played the alto solo on the recording, Dick
Stabile or Jimmy Dorsey. The single reached the number-two spot on 
the Billboard charts, becoming the highest charting song by a big band
during the first decade of the rock-and-roll era.
