Note: Henry Spitzer (né Henry Morris Spitzer; 1897–1952), head of Henry Spitzer Music, Spitzer Songs, Inc., and Vogue Music, Inc., committed suicide September 21, 1952, by inhaling illuminating gas in his apartment at 333 West 57th Street. Before founding his own publishing firms, he had been long affiliated with M. Witmark & Sons and Chappell Music. Spitzer, in 1933, published the famous song, "Gloomy Sunday" – a song that was blamed for touching off a wave of suicides during the nineteen-thirties. The song's composer, Rezső Seress (1899–1968) – some sources give his birth name as Rudolf ("Rudi") Spitzer – also committed suicide.
