TTT :: Olam Haba • Rabbi Baruch Chait

For a while this has been creeping into the shuffle, and I've somewhat enjoyed it despite its goofy melody, lyrics and performance. I mean, it's Rabbi Baruch Chait, and it's soft and sweet and all. But then I did the whole "Open File Location" to see where it's from. It's Moshe Yess, on The Yess Legacy.

Now, composed by Moshe Yess, how does this song come into being? On the other hand, composed by Moshe Yess, how does one consider this song for the trash heap?

Then it came to me that [so far as I know], this song was never popularized by Moshe and may not have been his proudest work. The collectors and arrangers of The Yess Legacy were the ones who fished it out of the Recycle Bin to begin with. In other words, its TTTness belongs to the Legacy, not the Legend.

Agreed.

It's really sad what those Legacy people did to this tribute.
