Gene Chandler的Duke of Earl路

芝加哥Racine大道與May Street中間的第59街，12月三日被命名"Gene Chandler Duke of Earl Way"，以向當地出生的Gene Chandler致敬。

Gene Chandler本名Eugene Dixson，1940年出生於芝加哥，是一位R&B歌手及製作人，因為喜歡看Jeff Chandler演的電影，所以取藝名Gene Chandler。

1956年他加入鄰居組的The Dukays合唱團、1961年從美國陸軍退伍後重新加入該團，並以The Dukays之名替NAT唱片公司錄了一首單曲Duke of Earl，但是後來Vee-Jay唱片公司獲得這一首歌的版權，改以Gene Chandler的名字推出，於1962年初獲得三週排行榜冠軍。

Gene Chandler自1962-1986年有36首R&B暢銷曲，在歷年暢銷歌星排行榜獲得第301名。
