age: 85

cause_of_death: Pneumonia

claim_to_fame: Music

best_know_for: Leopold Auer was a renown Hungarian violinist, academic, conductor and composer, best known as an outstanding violin teacher. Many notable virtuoso violinists including Jascha Heifetz, Mischa Elman, and Efrem Zimbalist were among his students and "some of the greatest violinists" of the twentieth century. Admission to Auer's class was a privilege won by talent. Remaining there was a test of endurance and hard work. While Auer pushed his students to their limits, he also remained devoted to them. He used his influence in high government offices to obtain residence permits for his Jewish students. Auer wrote a small number of works, including the Rhapsodie hongroise for violin and piano. He also wrote a number of cadenzas for other composers' violin concertos including those by Beethoven, Brahms, and Mozart's third.

claim_to_fame: Music

best_know_for: Richard Berry's contribution to the world of music does not include a discussion of tonality or form; he did not conduct the Boston Symphony Orchestra, he didn't invent a new form of music and he never had a #1 hit record. Rather Richard Berry wrote and recorded a simple but indelible three-chord, famously slurred song that encouraged even the most tone deaf among us to sing along. Richard Berry wrote what has become the cornerstone of rock 'n' roll. Richard Berry wrote "Louie, Louie". Richard is buried at Inglewood Memorial Park in Inglewood, California.

He was known for songs like "I'll Pin a Note on Your Pillow," ''Tell it Like it is" and "Till I Can't Take it Anymore" and was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in 1988. Upon his death, he was laid to rest at Greenwood Cemetery in Morehead City, NC.
