George Edward "Ted" Heath (30 March 1902 – 18 November 1969) was an English musician and big band leader.
Heath led what is widely considered Britain's greatest post-war big band recording more than 100 albums which sold over 20 million copies.
The most successful band in Britain during the 1950s, it remained in existence as a ghost band long after Heath died, surviving in such a form until 2000.
