When readers inducted Clark Terry into Down Beat's Hall of Fame in 2000, the 80-year-old trumpeter told the magazine's John McDonough, "I never would have believed that. I'm f labbergasted."

Terry's career encompassed more than 60 years of performing, from the small clubs of St. Louis during the 1930s, to a long run on the Tonight Show during the 1960s, to becoming a goodwill ambassador for the State Department in the 1970s.
