DeLange was born in Long Island City, Queens, New York.[1] His father was the playwright and actor Louis De Lange,[2] and his mother was the actress Selma Mantell.[2][3] His father tragically died when he was two years old, being found dead in a hotel room with his throat slit in what was possibly a murder or a suicide.[3] His uncle Alexander De Lange, was a comedian who performed under the name Alexander Clark.[3]
He and composerWill Hudson(né Arthur Murray Hainer; 1908–1981) formed the Hudson-DeLange Orchestra in 1935.[1] The Orchestra recorded many of their collaborative songs and did many road shows as well. Hudson and DeLange's partnership dissolved in 1938, but DeLange created a new band that played on several tours.[1] He formed a new partnership with another composer, Jimmy Van Heusen, and together they produced a large number of hits, including "Darn That Dream".[1] In 1942, De Lange co-wrote "A String of Pearls", a successful number for Glenn Miller.[1]
DeLange, in 1943, married Marge Lohden (née Margaret Mary Lohden; 1918–1990). He moved with her to Los Angeles. They had two children, Stephanie Barr DeLange (born 1944) and Warren Edgar DeLange (born 1945). Eddie DeLange lived the rest of his life in Los Angeles, writing music for motion pictures.
