Original Toronto Star caption: Top big band leader Woody Herman dies: Big band leader Woody Herman, whose 50-year career took him from smart ballrooms to African villages and from blues to rock 'n' roll, died yesterday. He was 74. Herman, suffering congestive heart failure, emphysema and pneumonia, died at 2.45 p.m. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre. Herman ''was one of the most wonderful human beings in the whole world,'' said his manager Tom Cassidy in Woodstock, III. ''He never quit.''
