Henri René (born Harold Manfred Kirchstein; December 29, 1906 – April 25, 1993), was an American musician who had an international career in the recording industry as a producer, composer, conductor and arranger.
In the mid 1950s, he issued several successful LPs which Allmusic has called "forerunners of the space-age pop aesthetic" among the albums were Music for Bachelors, Music for the Weaker Sex, Compulsion to Swing and Riot in Rhythm. Rene composed music themes and scores for several popular television series. After this René worked in production for RCA Victor, with Harry Belafonte, Perry Como, the Ames Brothers and Eartha Kitt among others. He left RCA Victor in 1959 to work freelance for the rest of his active career.
