- Duchin was born in New York City, the son of pianist and band leader Eddy Duchin. His mother was Marjorie Oelrichs, a Newport, Rhode Island and New York City socialite who died unexpectedly when he was just five days old. He was raised by close family friends, statesman W. Averell Harriman and his wife, Marie Norton Whitney Harriman.
Duchin was educated at Eaglebrook and Hotchkiss prep schools in New England. He spent time in Paris, France and studied at the Sorbonne before returning home and graduating from Yale University.
In 1964, he married Cheray Zauderer, a divorced Manhattan socialite with whom he eventually had three children. As a wedding gift, her father gave them a Thoroughbred yearling named Mr. Right. The colt became one of four racehorses to ever win both the U.S. West Coast's Santa Anita Handicap and the East Coast's Woodward Stakes.
Duchin's music was much-heard on MOR radio in the late 1960s and early 70s from albums and singles released on the Decca, Bell and Capitol labels.
From 1985 to 1989, Duchin had a professional partnership with Jimmy Maxwell, leader of the traditional society jazz band in New Orleans.
Duchin is an honorary member and former Vice-Chairman of the New York State Council on the Arts. He has served on the boards of American Ballet Theatre, Carnegie Hall, Spoleto Festival USA, The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, the board of Trustees for the Glimmerglass Opera of Cooperstown, New York, the Advisory Council for the American Russian Youth Orchestra, the National Jazz Service Organization, the World Policy Institute, and the Citizens Committee For New York City.
Having divorced, in 1985 Peter Duchin married Brooke Hayward with whom he'd been cohabiting since 1981. The couple maintain a loft in New York City and a house in Washington in Litchfield County, Connecticut. In 1996 he published his memoir, Ghost of a Chance. In 2008, Brooke Hayward and Peter Duchin announced their separation.[1]
He was also a board member for The Center for Arts Education. - Wikipedia

I love piano jazz, piano easy listening music and R&B using the piano. Peter Duchin takes after his father a lot.
OMG! I had such a crush on Peter Duchin when I was a kid, and I still do! Never, ever change you wonderful man!
THAT'S REALLY NICE..THANK YOU..GLAD YOU SAW THIS..PLEASE FOLLOW ME@REALBILLBOGGS ON INSTAGRAM
LOVE Peter Duchin!!
What a shame that youtube does not show the complete film for free. I watched it when first shown in the 50's with my mother so it brings back fond memories.Such a wonderful film needs to be available to all.
Tyrone Power, who played Eddie Duchin, was my first crush on an adult male. Loved that movie! So sad at the end.
I love to hear Peter play and he is wonderful in this interview. He was always a handsome fella 💋
An enjoyable interview but sure wish I knew what decade (at least) it was made.
His father would be proud of him.
Loved the biopic with Tyrone Power brilliant
I listened to him at Sgt. Sparks house on Termite Road qtrs. Fort Clayton, Canal Zone Panama. He was soooo coooool!
YT keeps changing things so I just found the bio description with it (thank you) and that you posted this in May 2012. Still would like to know when it was recorded.
Check out when his book was published and you will know.
If you are around here, Peter, what can you tell me about George Zinsser? I kind of broke his heart in the late 50's. That was a HUGE mistake.
This interview must be from the 1970s, from the hairstyles, clothing, and talking about mugging in NYC.
He mentions the Clinton White House, so it was the 90s, not the 70s. He was born in 1937 and does appear to be in his 50s here. (There always have been muggings in NYC, but you're right about increased muggings in NY for a while in the 70s. The suits and hair are fairly standard for any late 20th C. mature male.) His memoir is really good. What an interesting life he led.
He is related to diana barrymore also right ?
When did this interview take place?
Based on the references to Newt (Gingrich), 50th Speaker of the House of Representatives, Republican control of Congress and Hillary (Clinton), First Lady, also Rock and Roll being invented 40 years previous, I would say mid to late 1990s, most likely circa 1995. Definitely not the 1970s (they talk about the Reagan Administration in the past tense).
kraftpr I just finished his autobiography ("Ghost of a Chance") which was published in 1996. He referenced that he was writing it so this is probably 1994 or so. Amazing life story, he is one of a kind!
It’s always interesting to see an older generation discussing the art created by a new generation, when it’s apparent they have no understanding of it at all. It’s as annoying as a new generation saying that the art of previous generations, “ hasn’t aged well” simply because they don’t like it, or understand the time in which it was created.
And it’s weird coming from Duchin because he clearly understands the importance of art to a society, but the guy had an obvious hard on for disco.
