William Clarence "Billy" Eckstine (July 8, 1914 – March 8, 1993) was an American jazz and pop singer, and a bandleader of the swing era. He was noted for his rich, resonant, almost operatic bass-baritone voice. Eckstine's recording of "I Apologize" (MGM, 1948) was awarded the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999. Andy Williams released a version on his 1964 album, The Wonderful World of Andy Williams. The song was featured on Sinatra's 1965 album September of My Years, arranged by Jenkins, which won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Sinatra was inspired to record September of My Years, an album of songs on aging, by hearing the line "Beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you walk by me" from the song. I Want to Talk About You. I'm in the Mood for Love.

In "Mood Indigo" for example, he combines a clarinet in the low register below the trombone and a muted trombone at the top of its range along with a trumpet, using instruments from different families in this mixed choir. That technique, along with his use of brass mutes, was a true revelation and really changed the way people thought about writing for big band. The Earl Hines band, for example, was eventually taken over by Billy Eckstine, who totally embraced the new music. He hired Dexter Gordon, Charlie Parker, Gene Ammons, and a lot of boppers who ended up in that band. Kenton of course, was famous for his big brass sound. He added mellophoniums, a hybrid piston valve brass instrument that sounds something like a French horn. Kenton added four of these mellophoniums to the typical four or five trumpets and trombones.
