  1. 'Gloomy Sunday' was composed in 1935 by Rezso Seress, a musician of Hungarian origin, who - due to the later communist rule in Hungary - was never able to claim his royalties (370 000 US Dollars at the time). He often said: "Where will the Beatles be when I'm still here."
    Poor and forgotten, he committed suicide in 1968 in Budapest.
