 * Reason:You know, I do n't want to brag, but: here's a commercially available restoration of this image. I think I did a better job, and I'm not charging for use. (And if you want to over-boost contrast until half the details behind Strayhorn fade into dark... I'm sure you can still do that.)
 * Articles in which this image appears:Billy Strayhorn + I just scattered it over a few song articles that lacked images.
 * FP category for this image:Featured pictures/People/Entertainment
 * Creator:William P. Gottlieb, restored by Adam Cuerden
