Leo Fuld was the first to record this song in 1948, and had a worldhit with it. It was also the very last song he recorded again for his album The Legend (the Sgt. Pepper of Yiddish Music), just before he passed in 1997.
@mokumtv The most pathetic thing is that this song was based on the old Russian romance "Golubye Glaza" - blue eyes. wasn't sang fist by leo Fuld unfortunately, however it was first recorded by him. Again I think that his model was way the best however I admire Barry Sisters for their own interpretation.
Leo Fuld wasn't a chazan but a great singer. anyway I just discovered that he wasn't the first one to sing it. What I enjoy is that Barry Sisters have made their own way of singing this amazing song.
Composed before WWII:
Music by Oscar Strock. Lyrics by S. Kortnayer, a Yiddish actor who perished in the Warsaw Ghetto.
