Wingy Manone (13 February 1900 -- 9 July 1982) was an American jazz trumpeter, composer, singer, and bandleader. His major recordings included Tar Paper Stomp, Nickel in the Slot, Downright Disgusted Blues, Therell Come a Time (Wait and See), and Tailgate Ramble. Manone (pronounced ma-KNOWN) was born Joseph Matthews Mannone in New Orleans, Louisiana. He lost an arm in a streetcar accident, which resulted in his nickname of Wingy. He used a prosthesis, handling it so naturally and unnoticeably that his disability was not apparent to the public.
