オハイオ州、デイトンに生まれる。
エリントン楽団のアレンジャー、作曲家、ピアニスト、作詞家。
1938年、23歳の時「デューク・エリントン楽団」にアレンジャーとして加入。始めはエリントンの作る曲に詩を書くという条件で入団したが、すぐに曲を書き始め、以降、亡くなる67年まで、エリントンの分身的存在として作編曲に多大なる献身を示した。1967年、癌のため51歳の若さでこの世を去る。
代表作は「Take the A Train」「Lush Life」「Lotus Blossom」などの名曲を残した。
小柄でおとなしいビリー・ストレイホーンは、エリントン楽団では、「Swee' Pea (ポパイにでてくるおませな赤ん坊のスウィピー)」と呼ばれていた。
