Incorrect photo
editThe photo on the page is of well-known comic bandleader Spike Jones ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_Jones ), not George Henry Powell.
Here's a similar photo of Jones taken at the same time, correctly identified by the BBC:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/99e5bcc2-1792-472b-880e-7fd415700c35
It's possible the error originated via some reference to the 1942 recording Jones made of the song "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit-Bag, and Smile, Smile, Smile," co-written by George Henry Powell.
The incorrect photo used on the Wikipedia page has proliferated to many other sites.

Can't log-in to fix photo
editThankfully, somebody else has noticed that this article uses Spike Jones' picture, so, maybe some year, some one will notice and fix it.
I haven't logged-in in a long time, and now it appears I can't. Therefore, since I don't have access to a replacement photo of Powell, I guess I'll just leave the wrong one up rather than have my changes flagged for redundancy and removal... or whatever they're doing these years.
