"Vi iz dus geseleh?" yiddish song JAY BLACK vocal

English title: "Where is the village?".Year 1966Jay Black, lead singer of the pop group"Jay and the Americans"."Where is the Village?" (Vi iz dus geseleh?)a well known yiddish song."In 1966, Jay took a standard yiddish songand adapted it into a version to demonstratehis feelings about the Holocaust. After along struggle with the record company, he convinced them to let him record it.While recording it he worked with ArtieButler to help him with the arrangementsince Jay comes from an Orthodox Jewishbackground. Jay Black who was born DavidBlatt is the voice, the creator, andeverything you hear on that vocal.".A superb interpretation seldom heard inrecordings of this song. I feel he showeda facet of his personality that's quitemature for someone in his twenties.A young man singing about the horrors ofthe Holocaust, recorded in a vinyl LPintended for the teenagers who buy pop/rock.First half of the song is sung in yiddish,and the second half of the song in English.Only one other major jewish vocalist, SteveLawrence, included a yiddish song in his popular repertory, a song titled "Where CanI Go?", also about the Holocaust period.Steve Lawrence sang the english lyrics first,followed by the yiddish lyrics. Jay Black undertook a higher risk, singingthe yiddish lyrics first. "Where is theVillage?" is a gem of a yiddish song, andJay Black's curriculum should indicatepopular vocalist, and yiddish singer."Where is the Village?" sung in Yiddishand EnglishPaintings by MARC CHAGALL.Born in Vitebsk,Belarus.( White Russia).Yiddish lyrics:Vi iz dus gesele,Vi iz dos shtib,Vi iz dos meydele,Veimen ich kh'hob lieb,Jot iz dos gesele,Jot iz dos shtib,Jot iz dus meydele.Veimen ich kh'hob lieb,Jot iz dos gesele,Jot iz dos shtib,Jot iz dos meydele,Veimen ich kh'hob lieb.la,la,la...........Bilingual version of VI IZ DUS GESELE byJay and the Americans, the pop group from the 1960's made upof jewish boys.

Among the celebrated painters of the 20th century, he is associated with the modern movements .BiographyMarc Chagall was born Moishe Shagal (משה שאגאל - Shagal is a dialectal, North-Eastern Yiddish variant of the surname "Segal", an acronym of סגן לוי Segan Levi, meaning "Assistant Levite"); his name was rendered in the Russian language as Mark Zakharovich Shagalov.
