@Fingalful George Galloway(maybe because his mother was Irish-Sin Fein) would not approve, neither will the distillers of Chevez Regal who have boycotted Israel.
How times have changed. In these regions there is a tacit boycott of Jewish culture as expressed by UK Universities boycotting Israel. Hopefully this will reverse itself and Jewish culture will be once again open to Celtic ears.

@griyar1 Rosenblatt's version is the classic of all time. Sophie Tucker rocks as well.
In the early 1960's this version would be very appreciated.

What's it matter what his origins are? It's a beautiful song and he sings it beautifully and with deep feeling. Why couldn't his dad have taught him this song? I can remember that song being sung in pubs in the 1960s in my own home city--a Scottish industrial one--by a man who was a Scots Protestant. He probably taught his own kids it. It's a famous song and like all famous songs from almost all cultures we all identify with them. Check Perry Como singing the Kol Nidre, as an example.

@runpacer The new CD, "Jewish Sou: The Heart & Soul of Jewish Music' features this song, also Jewish songs by Johnny Mathis, Jackie Wilson, Connie Francis, Jay & The Americans, Andy Williams, Eartha Kitt and Many more.
It's available on Amazon and from Hatikvah Music in Los Angeles...they also have a web site. It's a fantastic CD!
This song is so beautiful!
Nice version! Thanks Sir Tom Jones
