Showing how many popular tunes of the day originated from Jewish melodies
A gramophone programme presented by Alan Keith

Here is a programme that will show just how many popular modern songs and dance tunes have their origin in old Yiddish melodies. Most of such modern numbers have their origin in New York from which such popular hits as 'Joseph, Joseph' 'Eili, Eili', and 'Almonds and Raisins' have come in recent years. Teddy Brown has actually played ' Eili, Eili' as a saxophone solo - a strange accomplishment in terms of an old Yiddish tune. Other numbers that you will hear are 'Sha, Sha, Yasha' and ' Sleep, baby, sleep'.
