Fats Waller
![Waller in 1938](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/Fats_Waller_edit.jpg)
Waller copyrighted over 400 songs, many of them co-written with his closest collaborator, Andy Razaf. Razaf described his partner as "the soul of melody... a man who made the piano sing... both big in body and in mind... known for his generosity... a bubbling bundle of joy". It is likely that he composed many more popular songs than he has been credited with. When in financial difficulties, he had a habit of selling songs to other writers and performers who claimed them as their own. He died from pneumonia, aged 39. Provided by Wikipedia
