He is best known for his work for the radio series Amos 'n' Andy. Life and careerGosden was born in Richmond, Virginia, the son of Emma L. (Smith) and Walter W. Gosden, Sr.[3] While attending school in Richmond, Gozzie worked part-time in Tarrant's Drug Store at 1 West Broad Street. During World War I, he served in the United States Navy as a wireless operator, which prompted his great interest with the young medium of radio. During 1921, Gosden first teamed with Charles Correll to do radio work, presenting comedy acts and hosting variety programs. They had met in Durham, North Carolina, both working for the Joe Bren Producing Company. Their first regular series was begun during 1925 with their WEBH[4] Chicago program Correll and Gosden, the Life of the Party. For this program, the two told jokes, sang, and played music (Correll played piano and Gosden banjo).[5] During 1926, Gosden and Correll had a success with their radio program Sam 'n' Henry broadcast by Chicago radio station WGN. Sam & Henry is considered by some historians to have been the first situation comedy. From 1928 to 1960, Gosden and Correll broadcast their program Amos 'n' Andy, which was one of the most famous and popular radio series of the 1930s. Gosden voiced the characters "Amos", "George 'Kingfish' Stevens", "Lightning", "Brother Crawford", and some dozen other characters.[6] During 1961-1962, Gosden and Correll provided the voices for the animated television series Calvin and the Colonel broadcast by American Broadcasting Company-TV.[6] During 1969, Gosden was honored with a symbolic star shape on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his work for radio.[7] During 1974 Gosden was living in Palm Springs, California[8] and was the best man for Frank Sinatra's 1976 wedding to Barbara Marx.[9] During 1977, Correll was inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame along with Gosden.[10] Personal lifeFreeman Gosden died from congestive heart failure in Los Angeles, California during 1982 at the age of 83.[11] Gosden was the father of four children: Virginia, Craig, Freeman, Jr., and Linda.[12] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=rFUlAAAAIBAJ&sjid=XasFAAAAIBAJ&pg=2489,1511227&dq=freeman+gosden+wife&hl=en|title=Divorce Asked By Amos' Wife|date=15 November 1940|publisher=San Jose News|accessdate=11 October 2010}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=PjIgAAAAIBAJ&sjid=nUwEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6656,2051918&dq=freeman+gosden+wife&hl=en|title=Amos Is Married|date=2 September 1944|publisher=The Pittsburgh Press|accessdate=12 October 2010}} 3. ^[https://books.google.ca/books?id=cXpzAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA8&dq=%22Walter+W.+Gosden,+Sr.,+and+Emma+L.+Smith%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj9tpvjwPzVAhUjxoMKHVu6ANgQ6AEIFDAA] 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://24.15.236.20/public/zecom/museum/Chiradhist/stationdex.htm#WEBH |title=Chicago Radio Stations-WEBH |publisher=Zecom Communications |accessdate=17 September 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130426060043/http://24.15.236.20/public/zecom/museum/Chiradhist/stationdex.htm#WEBH |archivedate=April 26, 2013 }} 5. ^{{Cite book | editor-last = Dunning|editor-first=John|title= On the Air: The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio |year=1998|pages=840|publisher=Oxford University Press, USA|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EwtRbXNca0oC&pg=PA75&dq=%22beat+the+band%22&num=100&cd=6#v=onepage&q=%22beat%20the%20band%22&f=false|isbn=0-19-507678-8|accessdate=10 June 2010}} 6. ^Terrace, Vincent (2011).
