Lang was born Salvatore Massaro, the son of an Italian-American instrument maker in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At first, he took violin lessons for 11 years. In school he became friends with Joe Venuti, with whom he would work for much of his career. He was playing professionally by about 1918, playing violin, banjo, and guitar. He worked with various bands in the USA's north-east, worked in London (late 1924 to early 1925), then settled in New York City.
He played with the bands of Venuti, Adrian Rollini, Roger Wolfe Kahn and Jean Goldkette in addition to doing a large amount of freelance radio and recording work.

In 1929 he joined Paul Whiteman's Orchestra, and can be seen and heard in the movie The King of Jazz.
When Bing Crosby left Whiteman, Lang went with Bing as his accompanist and can be seen with him in the 1932 movie Big Broadcast.

Lang also played under the pseudonym Blind Willie Dunn on a number of blues records with Lonnie Johnson.
Eddie Lang died from a sudden hemorrhage following a tonsillectomy in New York City.

@@robertomohundro7850 Yes! I’ve watched many Whitley Bay videos and I really admire his playing and that Blue Four tribute. Playing in that kind of group would be a dream come true. I just haven’t found any musicians here in Sweden interested in the style.

Slightly off-topic but I feel that breaking away from that basic four-to-the bar rhythm playing (which of course is a great base), to Eddie Lang and Nick Lucas style bass runs really requires effort and practice. especially in a band setting.
