Born here · 1927–1998
Born in Lakeville, 18 December 1927; the tie is contemporary, not compiled. Richard Dean "Dick" Grove — jazz pianist, composer and arranger who worked with Alvino Rey, Paul Horn, Buddy Rich and Nancy Wilson, and who in 1973 founded the Dick Grove School of Music in Los Angeles, where the students named on his record include Michael Jackson, Linda Ronstadt and Barry Manilow and the teachers included Henry Mancini, Bill Conti and Lalo Schifrin — was born in Lakeville, Indiana. The birthplace stands on two carriers, the second older than any encyclopedia: the reference article's infobox, and Leonard Feather's liner notes to Grove's own Little Bird Suite (Pacific Jazz, 1960): "Born December 18, 1927, in Lakeville, Indiana, he was not seriously interested in music until about 1942…" After 1991 he carried the school on as the Grove School Without Walls. He died 26 December 1998, at Laughlin, Nevada. He is this section's one born-here name of national record — and he is carried again, at his own size, in the artists file, as the town's one musician of record.
