Leo Monosson returns (2): "Oh, Fräulein Grete", tango !

[imonosson]

Dear Jurek,

Listening to these Leo Monosson recordings from so long ago is most enjoyable for me, but all his song also cause me to experience a sense of melancholy. Leo was a cousin who probably died at the hands of the Nazis before I was born in New York in 1937. Most of the Monossons came from Russia, so I know nothing about Leo except for his songs. Can you tell me more?

@imonosson

Thank you.

Fortunately he succeded to escape "on time" and was recording in France 1934-35; then went to America

to change his profession (post stamps business). Died suddenly on heart attack in 1934 in Miami.

You may see where he lived in Berlin in my video: "April in Berlin 2010: (3/6) Where Leo Monosson once lived".

Tomorrow another LM upload.

Dedico esta " joya " a Carlos Groppa historiador del tango y director de la Revista Tango Reporter . !Alas!

I love this song, it´s my favourite tango.

Thank you so much.

[jurek46pink]

Actually it is a German recording (probably Clangor !) edited on the Polish Syrena; original matrix numbers had been erased.

[parlophonman]

A real tribute to Greta, she would love you for this beautiful "upload",I am sure!

[adrianallan]

I love these old tangos - I had no idea the tango had spread to Poland.

[jurek46pink]

They will appear again here, thanks.

Tango before the war made 4/5 of all pop music in Poland.

Nice song, as always with Leo Monosson!

Very nice pictures of Garbo too.

[stewartgas]

Incredibly good. Just love the way those great photographs fade in and out so naturally. DOSKONALE!!!

Hello Clive - so nice to have seen you in my 'corner'.

Another award for Jerzy, this time a GOLDEN GLOBE that I understand is more prestigious than an Oscar because the writers and directors vote for the winner. Dziekuje za Boski muzyki i fotografii!

[albertdiner]

great photos, and nice tango. Greta Garbo said

"I want to be alone", her most famous phrase.

[smurfswacker]

A really nice tango...I like the lyrics, too. Nice selection of photos of the divine Garbo. Wundervoll!

[tHEnOOSEsWINGS]

A great tango song and a great collection of photographs. Thank you.

[julia59]

Tak, była boska. Jest niezapomniana. Dziękuję.

[jurek46pink]

Tak, na nowo sobie to też uświadomiłem przy przeglądzie tych fotek. Co za... magnetyzm rysów, że wyrażę się w stylu epoki...:)
