Percy Wenrich (January 23, 1887 – March 17, 1952) was a United States composer of ragtime and popular music.
Daniel Wenrich and Mary Ray, Jr., was born in Joplin, Missouri, and he left Chicago in 1901, where he attended classes at the Chicago Musical College.
Wenrich went on to work as a Tin Pan Alley composer in 1907, but his music keeps a Missouri folk feel.
At least eighteen rags were designed, including "Ashy Africa," "Nubbles," "Crab Apples" (1905), "Crab Apples" (1907), and "The Smiler."
"Wabash Avenue After Dark" and Stanley Murphy's "Put on Your Old Grey Bonnet" (1909, lyrics by Jack Mahoney) and "Minnetonka" (1921, lyrics by Gus Kahn) are among his hits. "If It's Good Enough for Washington" (1908, Ren Shields' lyrics) was a song about a homeless man sitting on a bench in a public square with statues of Washington, Jefferson, McKinley, Grant and Lee. If it's good enough for Washington, it's good enough for me. I'm proud that I am here tonight to keep him company. Dolly Connolly, a Wenrich married vaindeville performer, wrote the hit "Red Rose Rag" for her in 1911, with lyrics by Edward Madden.
With "Moonlight Bay," Wenrich and Madden had another blast in 1912. Wenrich and Connolly toured together for many years in the late 1930s. "Songwriters on Parade" by Wenrich and some of his colleagues' published a spectacular review, broadcasting all over the Eastern seaboard on the Loew's and Keith circuits.
"Sail Along, Silv'ry Moon," Wenrich's last popular song, was released in 1937.
He died in New York City in 1952 at the age of 65.
