Harry Horlick
American violinist and bandleader
Harry Horlick (born Gila Gorlik; July 20, – July )[1][2] was an American violinist and bandleader best known for leading The A&P Gypsies, "the first commercially sponsored musical act on radio".[3]
Early years
Horlick was born in Konotop, Ukraine, according to his sworn naturalization and draft registrations,[4] while other sources list Kyiv[5] or Cherinkow, "a little hamlet just outside of Moscow, Russia".[6] His brother's lack of financial success[7] as concertmaster of the Imperial Opera Company of Tiflis[8] caused their father to oppose another son's being a professional musician.
Undeterred, Horlick built a violin when was six years old and played during his father's absences. Eventually the brothers persuaded their father to let Horlick have formal training in music. He went on to graduate from a conservatory in Tiflis.[7]
