Think there is often confusion and or whatever over Mr. That and the excellent PBS special "Lush Life" shown often enough on Channel 13 (usually during gay pride month).

Much of what one knows comes from reading various things online and elsewhere over the years. Here is the way the club looks now as well as an artist "interpretation" of the club. I'm wondering if you have ANY books on Strayhorn that might have a picture of the club from that era? I am trying to find a picture of the Jazz club called "Lucky's Rendezvous" and I read online that Billy Strayhorn frequented that club often and usually ended up playing the piano before the night was over. When Strayhorn died in 1967 however his partner was at his hospital bedside regardless of what nurses and doctors may have thought.īugsyPal, you seemed to have a little knowledge on Billy Strayhorn so I came looking for you. Two men living together even back in the 1950's might raise some eyebrows after awhile say outside of The West Village.īilly Strayhorn's long time white/European partner Bill Grove kept separate apartments their entire relationship. True many mixed marriages of white/black couples managed to find acceptance in NYC, but for gays they often had the added stigma.

Thing about NYC African American gays and their white/European counterparts is that back in they day views on race to some extent kept "mixed" couples apart just as with opposite sex couples to an extent.
