Eddie Leonard (1870 – 1941), born Lemuel Golden Toney, was a vaudevillian and a man considered the greatest American minstrel of his day, at a time when minstrel shows were still acceptable as entertainment. He performed in vaudeville for 45 years before that medium faded in the 1920s, and was known for such songs as "Sweet As Apple Cider", "Roly Boly Eyes" and "Ida". He died on July 29, 1941.
