Leslie Hutchinson

Leslie Arthur Julien Hutchinson, known as "Hutch" (7 March 1900 – 18 August 1969), was a Grenada-born singer and musician who was one of the biggest cabaret stars in the world during the 1920s and 1930s. Born in Gouyave, Grenada, in 1900, when it was part of the British Windward Islands, to George Hutchinson and Marianne (néeTurnbull), Hutch took piano lessons as a child. In 1916, he moved to New York City while still in his teens. He originally emigrated to study for a degree in medicine as he had won a place due to his high aptitude, but instead he began playing the piano and singing in bars.
==Links to Peel==
Peel played his track, 'These Foolish Things', as one of the songs for the Peelenium 1936, but didn't seem to play any further material from the singer. "Hutch"' was one of the biggest stars of the era when Peel's father was in his youth, and his records were played most often on on the BBC Radio Two nostalgia shows JP sometimes listened to, hosted by the likes of Hubert Gregg, Russell Davies and Alan Dell.
