Carl T. Fischer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl T. Fischer (1912 - March 27, 1954) was a Native American jazz pianist and composer. He worked with Frankie Laine, and composed Laine's 1945 hit song, "We'll Be Together Again".

Fischer's parents, of Cherokee lineage, overcame poverty to provide him with music lessons.^[1] At the age of 32, Fischer joined a touring band and wrote some minor hits, which led to his work as an accompanist for Laine.^[1] With Laine's encouragement, Fischer wrote the musical, Tecumseh!, although it was never performed before Fischer's death.^[1]
