"James Brockman (December 8, 1886 \u2013 May 22, 1967) was an American songwriter. Born in Russia, he emigrated to New York by himself at the age of 9 or 10. His given name was Jacob Brachman but he changed the spelling of the last name because it was mis-pronounced and the rest of the family followed with the change.Brockman began his career as a comedian in vaudeville and musicals in the early 1900s. He was a partner, along with James Kendis, of the Kendis-Brockman Music Company."@en . "non_performing_personnel" . . . "Jacob Brachman"@en . . "0110696" . "1967-05-22Z"^^ . . "James Brockman"@en . .
