Yaakov [in English] • Moishe Storch

The great nephew of R' Yom Tov Ehrlich re-imagines the epic song "Yaakob" with expert tweaks to include American colloquialism and experience. He is the son of Dina Storch, niece of R' Yom Tov Ehrlich and composer of such mainstays as "Someday", "Daddy Dear", "Crack of Dawn" and "Bird of Hope."

"Ich" • Avraham Fried (Yom Tov Ehrlich)

The gems of Yom Tov Ehrlich are equal-parts brilliant for their music, lyrics and powerful story-lessons, as in this story of Reb Aharon Hagadol (Karlin).

Yiddish Jems (Hebrew) - Yackov

IIRC Mendy Kaplan from Safed wrote the Hebrew lyrics. Listening to this, I decided that he's a true genius! He translated (almost) every word accurately, i.e. didn't add or remove words to re-write the story, and managed to keep them as a rhyme.

Enjoy.
