==Biography==
((more citations needed|section|date=August 2022))

===Childhood===
Atwell was born in [[Tunapuna]] in [[Trinidad and Tobago]]. She and her parents lived in Jubilee Street. Her family owned a pharmacy and she trained as a pharmacist herself and was expected to join the family business. She played the piano from a young age and achieved considerable popularity locally. She played for American servicemen at the Air Force base (which is now the [[Piarco International Airport|main airport]]).

It was while playing at the Servicemen's Club at [[Piarco]] that someone bet her that she could not play something in the [[boogie-woogie]] style that was popular back home in the United States. She went away and wrote "Piarco Boogie", which was later renamed "Five Finger Boogie".<ref>((AllMusic |class=artist |id=winifred-atwell-p295249/biography))</ref><ref name="rpm1">((cite web|url=http://www.45-rpm.org.uk/dirw/winifreda.htm |title=Winifred Atwell |publisher=45-rpm.org.uk |date=27 February 1914 |access-date=12 February 2011))</ref>

===Leaving Trinidad===
Atwell left Trinidad in the early 1940s and travelled to the United States to study with [[Alexander Borovsky]]. A newspaper clipping reveals that she played in a concert at [[The Town Hall (New York City)|The Town Hall]] in New York on 10 May 1945, as part of a presentation by the Altruss Opera Company starring Paul A. Smith, a well-known tenor.<ref>((cite journal |title=The New York Age |journal=The New York Age |date=May 5, 1945 |page=11))</ref>

On 6 October 1945, it was announced that "the noted West Indian pianist" had left for England where she would broadcast for the BBC on Tuesdays and Thursdays.<ref>((cite journal |title=The New York Age |journal=The New York Age |date=October 6, 1945 |page=5))</ref> In London, she gained a place at the [[Royal Academy of Music]] where she completed her musical studies.<ref>((cite journal |title=The Stage |journal=The Stage |date=February 1, 1951 |page=4))</ref> She became the first female pianist to be awarded the academy's highest grading for musicianship. ((Citation needed|date=February 2019)) To support her studies, she played [[ragtime|rags]] at London clubs and theatres. From those modest beginnings in variety she went on to top the bill at the [[London Palladium]]. She said later, "I starved in a [[garret]] to get onto concert stages."((Citation needed|date=June 2011))

===Life in the UK===
On 21 October 1946, Atwell appeared on [[BBC One|BBC TV]] program "Stars In Your Eyes", which was quickly followed by several radio appearances on the Light Programme.<ref>((cite web |title=genome.ch.bbc.co.uk |url=https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/search/0/20?order=first&q=Winifred+Atwell |website=genome.ch.bbc.co.uk |access-date=March 9, 2022))</ref> In January 1947, she headed the bill of "Come to the Show" at the Empire Theatre, [[Belfast]], where she was billed as "radio's most versatile pianist".<ref>((cite journal |title=Belfast News-Letter |journal=Belfast News-Letter |date=January 18, 1947 |page=2))</ref> Frequent radio appearances continued, including the well-known "[[Variety Bandbox]]" show.<ref>((cite web |title=genome.ch.bbc.co.uk |url=https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/page/265173f89038491b94d2a8bd2e790afd |website=genome.ch.bbc.co.uk |access-date=March 9, 2022))</ref> She appeared on the variety stages too, sometimes with another pianist called Donald Thorne.<ref>((cite journal |title=Eastbourne Gazette |journal=Eastbourne Gazette |date=April 9, 1947 |page=3))</ref>

Atwell attracted attention with an unscheduled appearance at the Casino Theatre, where she substituted for an ill star. She caught the eye of entrepreneur [[Bernard Delfont]], who put her on a long-term contract in 1948.<ref>((cite journal |title=The Stage |journal=The Stage |date=June 24, 1948 |page=3))</ref> Atwell was championed by popular disc jockey [[Jack Jackson (British radio)|Jack Jackson]], who introduced her to [[Decca Records]] promotions manager [[Hugh Mendl]]. Mendl launched his career as a staff producer at Decca by producing Atwell's recordings. She released a number of discs for Decca in 1951 that were well received. "[[Jezebel (Frankie Laine song)|Jezebel]]" sold well,<ref>((cite journal |title=Westminster & Pimlico News |journal=Westminster & Pimlico News |date=March 21, 1952 |page=7))</ref> but it was another disc that catapulted her to huge popularity in the UK. A complex arrangement called "Cross Hands Boogie" was released to show her virtuoso rhythmic technique, but it was the [[A-side and B-side|B-side]], a 1900s tune written by [[George Botsford]] called "[[Black and White Rag]]", that was to become a radio standard.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.oldies.com/artist-biography/Winifred-Atwell.html |title=Winifred Atwell Biography |publisher=OLDIES.com |date=27 April 1914 |access-date=1 May 2012))</ref>

"Black And White Rag" started a craze for her [[honky-tonk]] style of playing. The rag was originally performed on a concert grand for the occasion, but Atwell felt it did not sound right, and so got her husband to buy a [[tack piano|honky tonk]] piano for 30 shillings, which was used for the released version of the song.

Atwell's husband, former stage comedian Lew Levisohn, was vital in shaping her career as a variety star. The two had met in 1946, and married soon after. They were inseparable up to Levisohn's death in Hong Kong in December 1977. They had no children. He had cannily made the choice, for stage purposes, of her playing first a concert grand, then a beaten-up old upright piano. The latter was purchased from a [[Battersea]] junk shop for 50 shillings. It became famous as "my other piano", and would later feature all over the world, from [[Las Vegas]] to the [[Sydney Opera House]], travelling over half a million miles by air throughout Atwell's concert career. While contributing to a posthumous [[BBC Radio]] appreciation of Atwell's career, [[Richard Stilgoe]] revealed that he had become the owner of the famous "other piano".

When Atwell first came to Britain, she initially earned only a few pounds a week. By the mid-1950s, that had shot up to over $10,000. By 1952, her popularity had spread internationally.<ref name="comlu1">((cite web|url=http://www.winifredatwell.comlu.com/1_4_About-Winnie.html |title=About Winnie " Winifred Atwell Tribute – Winifred Atwell Tribute |publisher=Winifredatwell.comlu.com |date=13 January 1982 |access-date=12 February 2011))</ref> Her hands were insured with [[Lloyd's of London]] for £40,000, the policy stipulating that she was never to wash dishes.<ref name="comlu1"/> She signed a record contract with Decca, and her sales were soon 30,000 discs a week. She was by far the biggest-selling pianist of her time.<ref name="rpm1"/> Her 1954 hit, "[[Let's Have Another Party]]", was the first piano [[instrumental]] to reach number one in the UK Singles Chart.<ref name=Guinness/>

She is the only holder of two gold and two silver discs for piano music in Britain, and was the first black artist in the UK to sell a million records.<ref name="comlu1"/> Millions of copies of her sheet music were sold, and she went on to record her best-known hits, including "[[Let's Have a Party (rag)|Let's Have a Party]]", "Flirtation Waltz", "[[The Poor People of Paris]]" (which reached number one in the [[UK Singles Chart]] in 1956),<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums">((cite book

Her signature "Black and White Rag" became famous again in the 1970s as the theme of the [[BBC]] snooker programme ''[[Pot Black]]'',<ref name=Oxford /> which also enjoyed great popularity in Australia when screened on the [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|ABC]] network. It was during that period that she discovered [[Matt Monro]] and persuaded Decca to sign him.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.mattmonro.org.uk/bio.shtml |title=A warm welcome to Matt Monro – an internet tribute |publisher=Mattmonro.org.uk |access-date=12 February 2011))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/155023/Matt-Monro-Tragedy-of-the-singing-bus-driver |title=Home of the Daily and Sunday Express &#124; Express Yourself: Matt Monro: Tragedy of the singing bus driver |publisher=Express.co.uk |date=30 January 2010 |access-date=12 February 2011))</ref>

Atwell's peak was in the second half of the 1950s, during which her concerts drew standing-room-only crowds in Europe and Australasia. She played three [[Royal Variety Performance]]s, appeared in every capital city in Europe, and played for over twenty million people.((citation needed|date=May 2018)) At a private party for [[Elizabeth II|Queen Elizabeth II]], she was called back for an encore by the monarch herself, who requested "[[Roll Out the Barrel]]". She became a firm television favourite and had her own series in Britain. The first of them was ''[[The Winifred Atwell Show|Bernard Delfont Presents The Winifred Atwell Show]]''. It ran for ten episodes on the new [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] network from 21 April to 23 June 1956, and the BBC picked up the series the following year. On a third triumphal tour of Australia, she recorded her own Australian television series, screened in 1960–1961.<ref>((cite web|url=http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/series/3337 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022063639/http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/series/3337 |url-status=dead |archive-date=22 October 2012 |title=Films & TV programmes: The Winifred Atwell Show |website=[[British Film Institute]] |access-date=12 February 2011))</ref> During her career she earned her a fortune, and would have extended to the US but for problem of [[racial segregation in the United States]]. Her breakthrough appearance was to have been on ''[[The Ed Sullivan Show]]'' in 1956, but on arrival in America she was confronted with problems of selling the show in the south with a British-sounding black woman. Her appearance was never recorded.<ref name=Billboard/> She did, however, have a guest appearance on the Arthur Godfrey show two years later.

===Life in Australia===
In 1955, Atwell arrived in Australia and was greeted as an international celebrity. Her tour broke box-office records on the [[Tivoli circuit]], bringing in receipts of £600,000. She was paid AUS$5,000 a week (the equivalent of around $50,000 today), making her the highest-paid star from a [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth country]] to visit Australia up to that time.((Citation needed|date=June 2011))

She toured Australia many times and made Australian guitarist, [[Jimmy Doyle (musician)|Jimmy Doyle]], her musical director in the 1960s. In 1962, she made a nationwide tour of Britain, with "The Winifred Atwell Show", accompanied by the Cy Bevan Group, who were with her then current radio series "Pianorama". From Monday, 17 September 1962, for one week only, she gave twice-nightly performances at the [[Brighton Hippodrome]]. Also appearing with her on the bill was [[Ronnie Carroll]], a radio and television recording star. Her popularity in Australia led to her settling in Sydney in the 1970s, and she became an Australian citizen two years before her death.<ref>((cite web|url=http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/3600307?lookfor=winifred&offset=4&max=1012 |title=Portrait of Winifred Atwell [8&#93; [picture&#93; &#124; National Library of Australia |publisher=Catalogue.nla.gov.au |access-date=12 February 2011))</ref>

[[Keith Emerson]] noted her influence on his playing in an interview: "I've always been into ragtime. In England—and I'm sure [[Rick Wakeman]] would concur—we loved Winifred Atwell, a fantastic honky-tonk and ragtime player."<ref>((Cite magazine|last=Fortner|first=Stephen|title=Keith Emerson Interviewed by You|magazine=Keyboard|date=December 2010))</ref>

Atwell was also a skilled interpreter of classical music. On 1 and 2 December 1954, at London's [[Kingsway Hall]], with the [[London Philharmonic Orchestra]] conducted by [[Stanford Robinson]], she made one of the first [[stereophonic sound|stereo]] classical recordings in the UK of a major repertoire work, the [[Piano Concerto (Grieg)|Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16]], by [[Edvard Grieg|Grieg]]. The two-channel version, engineered by Decca's Roy Wallace, appears not to have been released, but a transfer of the Decca LP (mono) LF1206 has been produced and issued by Pristine Audio as an available download. Another Decca recording by Atwell is [[George Gershwin]]'s ''[[Rhapsody in Blue]]'' with [[Ted Heath (bandleader)|Ted Heath]]'s band, which contained an arrangement in the [[Glenn Miller]] style of the slow section.

===Later life===
Atwell bought an apartment on the beach front in Flight Deck, an apartment complex in [[Collaroy, New South Wales|Collaroy]] in Sydney, as a jumping-off base for her worldwide performance commitments. She was a member of the Moby Dick Surf Club at [[Whale Beach, New South Wales|Whale Beach]] where she performed regularly in support of the surf club. Enjoying the affection of the public, she was nevertheless keenly aware of prejudice and injustice and was outspoken about [[racism in Australia]]. She always donated her services in a charity concert on Sundays, the proceeds going to orphanages and needy children. She spoke out against the [[Third World]] conditions endured by [[Aboriginal Australians]], which made headlines during an outback tour of the country in 1962. Dismissing racism as a factor in her own life, she said she felt she was "spoiled very much by the public". She left her estate to the Australian [[Guide Dogs for the Blind]] and a small amount to her goddaughter. However, a cousin of Lew Levisohn contested Atwell's will and is reported to have been granted $30,000 from her estate.

Atwell also created headlines in the 1960s with her dieting, slimming from ((convert|16|to|12|st|kg|lk=in)), using what would today be called a [[high-protein diet|protein diet]].

In 1978, she appeared on Australian TV's ''[[This Is Your Life (Australian TV series)|This Is Your Life]]''. At the end of the show, she played a few bars of "Black and White Rag" using her "other" piano, which had been in retirement for many years.

Though a dynamic stage personality, Atwell was modest, shy and soft-spoken. Eloquent and intellectual, she was well read and keenly interested in and informed about issues and current events. Voracious in her reading habits and a devotee of crosswords, she confessed to an inordinate love of mangoes, a dislike of new shoes, and a keen interest in televised [[cricket]] (she backed England).<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.winifredatwell.comlu.com/1_6_Meeting-Winifred-Atwell.html |title=Meeting Winifred Atwell " Winifred Atwell Tribute – Winifred Atwell Tribute |publisher=Winifredatwell.comlu.com |date=20 June 1981 |access-date=12 February 2011))</ref> She was also a devout [[Catholic Church|Catholic]], who unpretentiously played the organ for her parish church.

Atwell often returned to her native Trinidad and, on one occasion, she bought a house in [[Saint Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago|Saint Augustine]], which she adored and later renamed Winvilla. It was later turned into the [[Pan Pipers Music School]] by one of her students, Louise McIntosh. In 1968, Atwell recorded ''Ivory and Steel'', an album of standards and classics, with the Pan Am Jet North Stars Steel Orchestra (director/arranger [[Anthony Williams (musician)|Anthony Williams]]), and supported musical scholarships in the [[West Indies]]. In the early 1980s, her sense of loss following her husband's death made her consider returning to Trinidad to live, but she found the weather too hot.

Atwell suffered a stroke in 1980. In 1981, she officially retired on ''[[The Mike Walsh Show]]'', then Australia's highest-rating television [[Variety show|variety programme]]. She categorically stated that she would retire and not return as a public performer, and that she had had an excellent career. Her last TV performance was "Choo Choo Samba", followed by a medley of "Black and White Rag" and "Twelfth Street Rag". Her only non-private performances from that point were as an organist in her parish church at [[Narrabeen, New South Wales|Narrabeen]].

==Death==
In 1983, following an electrical fire that destroyed her Narrabeen home, she suffered a heart attack and died while staying with friends in [[Seaforth, New South Wales|Seaforth]]. She is buried beside husband, Lew Levisohn, in Northern Rivers Memorial Park, South Gundurimba in northern [[New South Wales]], just outside [[Lismore, New South Wales|Lismore]].

==Awards==
In 1969, she was awarded Trinidad and Tobago's national award, the [[Hummingbird Medal|Gold Hummingbird Medal]], for her achievements in music.<ref>[http://thepresident.tt/trinidad-and-tobago/national-awards-database/ National Awards Database], The Office of the President, Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.</ref>

==Legacy==
[[Elton John]] called Atwell one of his musical heroes.<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/elton-john-winnipeg-musician-hero-winifred-atwell-1.5328494|title=Winnipeg musician's late cousin hailed as one of Elton John's heroes|last1=Parker|first1=Wendy Jane|last2=Schmidt|first2=Joff|date=October 22, 2019|publisher=[[CBC News]]|accessdate=June 27, 2022))</ref> Elton paid for Winifred's piano shaped headstone.
