Henry Crowder (1890-1955) was an African American pianist, best-known for his romantic association with Nancy Cunard.
He was born in Gainesville, Georgia and established himself as a pianist and orchestra leader in Washington, D.C in the 1910s, working alongside Russell Wooding and Duke Ellington.
He had a turbulent seven year relationship with Nancy Cunard, which culminated in the production of Cunard's monumental 1934 Negro: An Anthology (dedicated to Crowder.)
