Shaw, Artie

Benny Goodman may have been the King of Swing, but Artie Shaw came close to dethroning him on several occasions. Despite their bitter rivalry, Shaw and Goodman shared a number of similarities; they were born within a year of one another to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents, and both showed an incredible natural inclination for the clarinet.

After freelancing for several years, Shaw began to draw attention as a bandleader in the mid-1930s. His biggest hits included "Begin The Beguine" and "Stardust," and he became the first white bandleader to hire a featured African-American vocalist when he brought Billie Holiday on board in 1938. Becoming a popular success always rubbed Shaw the wrong way, as he felt it limited his ability to pursue more artistically minded projects.

A self-described "difficult person," Shaw had a turbulent personal life that included eight marriages to several famous actresses. By the 1950s, Shaw had tired of the music industry and gradually phased himself out; by 1954 he was no longer actively performing. He largely lived away from the spotlight until his death in 2004.
