 | | Nat Shilkret [+] was one of the mainstays of the RCA Victor company in its early days, as an executive and as a conductor, and it is as a musician that he has managed to remain a subject of reviews and articles in the 21st century. |
 | | Born Nathaniel Schüldkraut to an Austrian-Jewish immigrant family in Queens, NY, in 1895 (some sources say 1899), Shilkret showed remarkable musical ability as a child, first taking up the violin and the clarinet before age five. |
 | | Shilkret later joined CBS as music director, during the declining postwar years of radio. |
