Danny Kaminsky born in Brooklyn, came to prominence in Moss Hart's "Lady In the Dark"
with Gertrude Lawrence, one of the first music "books" that were original. Danny's big song was "Tschaikovsky" which brought him fame.

Sylvia Fine was a comic lyric "genius" like Tom Lehrer. (I always wondered if "Lobachevsky" (sp?) was patterned after "Tschaikovsky".)

"I'll never forget the morning that grandpa ate the awning
To impress a pretty lady, who went for men that were shady."

Sylvia Fine, I don't think, got the recognition that she deserved.

I met him one time briefly at the Gate of Horn in Chicago when he came in to the dressing room to see Shoshana Damari (a legend in Israel). I noticed that he wore two different colored socks.

Another Kaminsky, Sid Caesar, nee: Kaminsky.

"Tubby The Tuba" a classic children's recording.

His "git-gat-gittle" was a new kind of scat singing. He was adored in England.
