Several of the cantorial blockbusters from R' Shlomo Carlebach were not mainstreamed by him but by his young friend and admirer, R' Shlomo Simcha Sufrin. Included in the several: Keser Yitnu Lecha and Moshe v'aharon.
Last year, Shlomo Simcha teamed up with the Nafshenu Orchestra for a wedding-style-album* of all Carlebach songs. Typically a recipe for mediocrity, this formula works very, very well, when the "wedding singer" happens to be Shlomo Simcha, and the "wedding" is Shlomo Carlebach.
My so far favorite. Hinei Yamim Ba'im:
*This is when a collection of well-known songs are recorded with over-the-top arrangements by one of the popular wedding orchestras, usually as a means of promoting said orchestra to girls' in high school productions and middle-aged men in Kosher Gyms.
I much prefer Yehuda Green's version.
