Most of Yom Tov Ehrlich's songs are of Russian origin, I don't think he composed his own tunes.

You're saying he was like Shlock Rock?

Kochavim from that album definitely does.

I have an only very shallow knowledge of Shlock Rock. YTE was a folks singer who took popular tunes of his time/location and infused them with beautiful Toichen. Growing up those were the only non-lubavitch songs we listened to, IMHO it only added to our Yiras Shomayim. I still listen to them often.

I think I remember listening to a track of MBD at a concert, where he said that one summer in Miami Beach, as he was sitting on his balcony looking at the stars and ocean, this song just came to him...

Clear thinker and JoeyShmoe: If I remember correctly, MBD said that when he was sitting on his porch the IDEA came to him for the song. That would be refering to the lyrics, which he did make.

Or the IDEA of taking an oldies song and putting Jewish words to it.

Thanks, JoeyShmoe. By the way, MBD's Wikipedia page has a few more song adaptions, for those of you who are interested...

Quorum, a Male Vocal Band (none Jewish) Performs a Shloma Yida Rechnitz (jewish) Original at St. Kotryna's Church in Lithuania... Unfortunately this is a rare event, hence there's no need to open a separate forum called 'Non-Jewish Music with Jewish Origins'...





This is the Original vid with more than 650k hits..





I'm glad though they didn't replace the original lyrics with Lithuanian ones...

Very funny how they pronounce with oy but say bayit with a t and not an s
Overall though  they sound natural, I'm impressed!

Just heard a part of a tune on the radio that sounded eerily similar to Abraham Fried's "there's a small piece of heaven in everyone's heart". Anyone know what I'm talking about?
