Il décède le à Chicago[1].

Anecdote

D’après son fils, Oscar Brown Jr. a écrit plus de 1000 chansons, dont seulement 125 ont été publiées. En dépit du respect qu’il a reçu de la communauté Jazz, sa famille a toujours pensé qu’il n’a jamais obtenu une reconnaissance adéquate de l'industrie du disque.
