Biography

Richard Rogers (1912–1970) was a singer, comedian, songwriter, and pianist, who wrote the lyrics for "Harlem Nocturne". He was a member of the Ray Noble Orchestra and the Will Osborne Band. Rogers was associated with Will Osborne, a "star crooner" who was on the radio in the 1930s. Osborne's band was on the decline in 1940. Osborne created a "bus and truck vaudeville show", with comedy acts, which did not do well. Dick was hired on as "Stinky" Rogers, doing a singing comedy act. When Osborne moved to Hollywood in 1940, Rogers took over the band. He did well, according to a Billboard review in 1942, who said he "...acquitted himself credibly, as did his orchestra." The magazine called him capable, saying he could sing, compose, play and lead.
