Henry W. Armstrong (July 22, 1879 – February 28, 1951) was an American boxer, booking agent, producer, singer, pianist, and Tin Pan Alley composer.[1]
His biggest hit was "Sweet Adeline", written in 1903 with Richard H. Gerard.[1][2] His 1905 sentimental ballad "Nellie Dean" became the signature song of the British music hall singer Gertie Gitana,[3] and subsequently a popular British pub song.[4]
