Harry Von Tilzer (born Harry Gumm, 1872-born Harry Gumm, 1951) was an American composer, songwriter, and vaudevillian perfoer.
Early life
Von Tilzer was born in Detroit, Michigan. Sarah (Tilzer) and Jacob Gumbinsky, both Polish Jewish immigrants, were in love with him. Harry went to a traveling circus at age 14, where he adopted his mother's maiden name as his own and tried to make it seem more prestigious by tacking on a "Von." So impressive was the change that had to be made by all his brothers, who later changed their last name to match his.
Career
Harry was a natural performer on piano and calliope, as well as writing new songs and incidental music for shows. He continued to perform for burlesque and vaudeville shows for many years, composing many tunes that were not released or that were sold to entertainers for one or two dollars. In 1898, he sold his song "My Old New Hampshire Home" to a publisher for $20 and watched it become a national hit, selling over two million copies of the sheet music. He was inspired to become a professional songwriter as a result of his experience.
He was made a partner of the Shapiro Bernstein Publishing Company. His 1900 number "A Bird in a Gilded Cage" became one of the time's biggest hits. Von Tilzer is one of the best-known Tin Pan Alley songwriters. Von Tilzer established his own publishing company in 1902, where he was soon joined by his younger brother Albert Von Tilzer.
