Heino Gaze (20 February 1908 – 24 October 1967) was German composer.[1] In Germany he is best known as the composer of "La Le Lu (nur der Mann im Mond schaut zu)" sung by Heinz Rühmann in the film Wenn der Vater mit dem Sohne. Probably most famous in America is his song "Kalkutta liegt am Ganges" which became a hit performed by Lawrence Welk under the title "Calcutta".
