The title given to this article is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is Bronisław Kaper.
Bronisław Kaper (misspelled by the U.S. immigration authorities as Bronislau Kaper) (1902 - 1983) was a Polish_born composer of popular music.
Kaper met Walter Jurmann in Berlin in the late 1920s, and the two decided to work as a team, first in Berlin and then in Paris, France. On being offered a seven-year contract with MGM by Louis B. Mayer, Kaper and Jurmann emigrated to the United States, where they continued their work.
Kaper composed for nearly 150 Hollywood movies, won Oscar for Lili.
BronislauKaper was born in Warsaw, Poland on February 5, probably in 1902, although Kaper wasn't positive of the year because his birth certificate had undergone a number of changes.
After moving to Paris, he was "discovered" by Louis B. Mayer, who had heard Kaper's song "Ninon" and in 1936 the composer went to Hollywood, signing a series of contracts with MGM and writing for that studio until the early 1960s.
In 1953 Kaper won the Academy Award for Lili, which contained the song "Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo" and he was nominated for an Academy Award on three other occasions.
