In 1993, he was inducted into the Big Band Hall of Fame. He was among the top headliners, appearing on the nightclub circuit during the 1950's, when there were numerous such venues across the nation. Unlike many stars, he was very affable, and far from reclusive, aloof or distant when in public. When headlining at the Beverly Hills Supper Club, Southgate, Kentucky - in metropolitan Cincinnati - he appeared many times on the highy-popular Ruth Lyons noon television program. He was so popular and engaging, and such a favorite of its star and viewers, that he actually hosted the show during some of Ms. Lyons' periodic absences. In 1979 Cornell moved to Florida. He died in Aventura, Florida from emphysema and diabetes at the age of 84.
