Josef "Yossele" Rosenblatt (b.May 9, 1882 - d.June 19, 1933) was a Ukrainian-born chazzan (cantor) and composer. He was regarded as the greatest cantor of his time. He was born on May 9, 1882 in Bila Tserkva, Ukraine, the son of a long line of cantors. Rosenblatt's devoutly religious upbringing prevented him from receiving formal musical training at any of the great academies of his day. He began his career as a member of the local synagogue choir. Quickly lauded as a child prodigy, Rosenblatt's solo career was launched. He accepted his first full-time position in Munkacs, Hungary at the age of eighteen. Shortly afterword he relocated to Bratislava. He later occupied a position in Hamburg, Germany. In 1912 he moved to Harlem to take a position at the Ohab Tsedek orthodox congregation. Rosenblatt's fame extended beyond the Jewish world earning him large concert fees, a singing role in the 1927 film The Jazz Singer, and the sobriquet "The Jewish Caruso". He died on June 19, 1933 in Jerusalem.
THE TITANIC DISASTER WAS ON APRIL,16 1912 AND THIS WAS ISSUED SHORTLY AFTERWARDS.
