Conrad, real name Conrad K. Dober, (born June 18, 1891 in New York City; † September 28, 1938 in Van Nuys) was a U.S. composer and music producer.
In 1912, Dober's first song, Down in Dear Old New Orleans, was released. In 1913 he produced the Broadway show The Honeymoon Express, which featured Al Jolson and others. From 1918 he worked together with the songwriter Henry Waterson. In 1920 he had his first success with the songs Margie and Palesteena. This was followed by well-known numbers such as Ma, He's Making Eyes at Me, You've Got to See Mama Ev'ry Night, Memory Lane, Lonesome and Sorry and Come on Spark Plug.
Beginning in 1923, he concentrated on the stage, writing music for Broadway shows such as The Greenwich Follies, Moonlight, Betty Lee, Kitty's Kisses, and Americana. After losing his money in numerous unsuccessful shows, he went to Hollywood in 1929. There he worked in films such as Fox Movietone Follies, Palmy Days, Dance with Me! and Here's to Romance.
In 1934, he and his song composer Herb Magidson received the first Academy Award for Best Song for The Continental. In 1970, Conrad was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
