Gerald Martin, composer, is a pseudonym for the Hungarian-born composer Denes Agay, born in 1912, in a small town near Budapest. He died 24 January 2007 in California. Agay moved to USA in 1939 to escape the Nazis. His Jewish parents were killed at
Auschwitz. In his composing, Agay often used the name Gerald Martin for pieces of a more popular nature, often adaptations or arrangements of existing songs (eg Dark Eyes Boogie, Meet Frankie and Johnny) reserving the name Denes Agay for his original
works.
