Leo Wood
Leo Wood, also known as Jack Wood, was born Leopold Wood Lantheaume on September 2, 1882, in San Francisco, California, to parents Louis Ferdinand Lantheaume and Hannah Marcuse Wood. He gained recognition as an American songwriter and lyricist, particularly known for his work during the 1920s. Wood is best remembered for penning the hit song "Somebody Stole My Gal." He collaborated with many prominent songwriters of his time, including Theodore F. Morse.

Among his other notable contributions to music are the Paul Whiteman jazz standard "Wang Wang Blues," "Runnin' Wild," and "Play that 'Song of India' Again," which became a number-one hit for Whiteman in 1921. Wood also wrote "Mean Old Bed Bug Blues" under the pseudonym Jack Wood.

Leo Wood passed away at his home in Teaneck, New Jersey, on August 2, 1929. He left behind a legacy of popular songs that continue to be celebrated. One of his sons was named Theodore Morse Lantheaume, born in 1926 and passed away in 1972.
