Lyle Russell Cedric Henderson 
      British-born American pianist, conductor, and bandleader (b. Jan. 27, 1918, Birmingham, Eng.—d. Nov. 1, 2005, New Milford, Conn.), worked on radio with Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby, who was responsible for his nickname, derived from Henderson's ability to sketch scores in different keys. He studied with composer Arnold Schoenberg, won a Grammy Award for the album Great Scenes from Gershwin's Porgy and Bess (1963), founded and conducted the New York Pops, and was a guest composer with countless symphonies, but he was best remembered as the longtime bandleader for television's The Tonight Show, with hosts Steve Allen and Johnny Carson (Carson, Johnny ) (q.v.).
