Brother can you spare a dime? Tom Waits

Thank you, RedCeltic.

One of the very few songs that Tom Waits covered, if you listen to the CBC radio (Canadian Broadcast Corporation) this song is one of the "Twenty Pieces Of Music That Changed The World`` series. It is not pure chance that he chose to sing it, Tom Waits relates in many ways to this song, see his biography.

Best version

This song was a number 1 hit in 1932 -- worst year of the Great Depression -- twice. Both Rudy Vallee and Bing Crosby reached the top of the pop charts with their rendition of a song that magnificently captured the situation and mood of the country. Check out also the amazing recent version by Dr. John and Odetta, who do it as a blues.

Words by the great Yip Harburg (lyricist of "The Wizard of Oz"); music by Jay Gorney, based on a Russian Jewish lullaby.

I love this guy and all his music. So much feeling. So much.

Tom's version could become the new version for our times.
