1868-1917. US ragtime pianist and composer
active in Chicago. His `Maple Leaf Rag' 1899
was the first instrumental sheet music to
sell a million copies, and `The Entertainer',
as the theme tune of the film The Sting 1973,
revived his popularity. He was an influence
on Jelly Roll Morton and other early jazz
musicians.
