Paul Samuel Whiteman (March 28, 1890 -- December 29, 1967) was an American bandleader and orchestral director.
Body and Soul is a popular song written in 1930 by Edward Heyman, Robert Sour, Frank Eyton and Johnny Green. Rising quickly to popularity, Libby Holman introduced it in the revue Three's a Crowd and it was used as the theme to the 1947 film, Body and Soul.
Like many pop songs of the time, it became a jazz standard, with hundreds of versions performed and recorded by dozens of artists.
