LifeThe son of Jamaican immigrants, Eaton grew up in Harlem.[1] His father was a mechanic and his mother a domestic servant.[3] He took up classical piano when he was six[3] and shortly after, in 1937, played at Carnegie Hall, winning gold medal in a Music Education League competition.[2] In June 1950, he won the first Kosciuszko Foundation Chopin Award. He made his concert debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performing Chopin’s F Minor Concerto under George Schick in 1951. He was reengaged to perform Beethoven’s 4th the following season, and also made his New York Town Hall debut in 1952.[2] His education included the City College of New York, the Manhattan School of Music, the University of Zurich, and Yale; he subsequently became a music instructor at the Manhattan School of Music.[3] He was drafted for two years into the U.S. Army at the time of the Korean War, serving all of that time in a hospital radio station,WFDH in Fort Dix, NJ where he wrote and produced radio and TV programs.[1] In 1955, on leaving the Army, Eaton was taken on as a copywriter and composer at Young & Rubicam, and in his first two years created 75% of all the music produced there.[1] In 1957, physicians gave him a 10 percent chance of surviving an automobile accident in Utah that left him comatose and killed his wife of under one year.[3][1] He worked almost three decades in advertising, with Young & Rubicam, Benton & Bowles and later his own company, Roy Eaton Music Inc.[3] In 1986, he returned to regular concert performance at Alice Tully Hall, in Lincoln Center with a unique program format, "The Meditative Chopin", a subsequent "The Meditative Chopin II" in 1987 and a third recital in the same hall in 1992. Eaton is a long-time practitioner of Transcendental Meditation.[3] Beginning in 1968. He was inducted into the Advertising Hall of Fame in 2010 References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|last1=Edwards |first1=Geoff |title=Black History Month: an interview with Roy Eaton |url=http://creativity-online.com/news/black-history-month-an-interview-with-roy-eaton/148896 |accessdate=3 July 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120422153034/http://creativity-online.com/news/black-history-month-an-interview-with-roy-eaton/148896 |archivedate=April 22, 2012 }} 2. ^1 {{cite web|title=Roy Eaton|url=http://www.oldfirstconcerts.org/artists/426/|accessdate=3 July 2014}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web|last1=Seida|first1=Linda|title=Artist Biography|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/roy-eaton-mn0000770691/biography|accessdate=3 July 2014|archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6QnNr1VOl|archivedate=2014-07-03}} External links
