 | | Percy Faith was a pianist, arranger, conductor and composer; a piano prodigy by age 15, Faith gave a recital in Toronto's famed Massey Hall. |
 | | He was also playing for the silent movie houses, but in 1926 he injured his hands in a fire, thus ending any concert career opportunities. |
 | | However, in 1940 with his budget cut, and tiring of feeling that the CBC hired kept him as their token Jewish operative, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, and later to New York City, accepting a post with the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), where he became an American citizen in 1945. |
