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.

Lefonov • Moshe Yess/Avraham Fried

It's Monday Match-up!

This Lefonov Naavod was composed by Rabbi Baruch Chait, made famous by Avraham Fried on Goodbye Golus (1985) and made awesome by Moshe Yess on "Moshe Yess sings Rabbi Baruch Chait." End.

PIRSUM RISHON* Kotzk • Moshe Yess sings Baruch Chait

It may not be pretty, but it is gorgeous nonethelesser.

As the man himself might have sung: "I may not be as sweet as you, but there's something you should know is true... every Moshe Yess performance has Moshe Yess's feeling too."

G-d bless the man, the music and the message. G-d bless you too.



Thank you, thank you, thank you YR for unearthing this otherworldly experience.
