Subject: RE: Those were the days my friend - history? From: catspaw49 Date: 09 Feb 02 - 02:24 AM It was about the last big hit by Lieber and Stoller and was written specifically with Peggy Lee in mind. They composed an entire album for her later. Both just loved her style, delivery, and personality. Mike Lieber and Jerry Stoller were responsible for so many R&B/Motown/Rock hits that it's hard to imagine they were two Jewish white boys!!! I doubt if a Yiddish version was foremost, if at all, in their minds. Spaw |
Subject: ADD: Those Were the Days (Gene Raskin) From: allie kiwi Date: 09 Feb 02 - 01:42 AM I've always enjoyed the song sung by Mary Hopkin 'Those were the days'. I heard that it was originally sung in Hebew or Yiddish. does anyone know anything about this - or was it sung in Hebrew after the English version? Allie
