I am convinced that (King) M.B.D. is the original performer (MBD & FRIENDS), and all internet searches seem to agree. However, a friend of mine claims that it was originally Yerachmiel Begun/Miami. Anyone know who it was?
I think it was the London Boys Choir, also known as the London Pirchei choir, maybe 1977 or 1978
it was Yerachmiel Begun – but not Miami – it was PIRCHEI TORONTO
First Toronto record. About 1974 or so. Soloist was David Buzaglo.
On second thought, Yerushalmit is probably right. I grew up in Toronto and definitely listened to Pirchei Choir music around that time. Im probably mixing it up with a London Boys Choir album I’m sure we had at the time. And I think it may have been just a year or two before the Miami/Toronto collaboration album.
The problem with this question is that we don’t know which song he is actually referring to as there is one on
the London Unplugged album, Dov Levine on the Vchulom Mekablim album, Dovid Stein has a version on his Melech album.Definitely Pirchei Toronto. I still had the record a few years back . Same record as Hoireni, Modeh Ani, Urai Vonim, Al Al tiroh…..Ah I’m getting all nostalgic

Yep

We do, because it’s the one MBD sang on MBD and Friends.
According to the back of the record, it was composed by Shlomo Zolty, and Mordechai Paul also had a solo.
1976 Toronto Pirchei. Classic album. most songs composed by Yerachmiel Begun, a very talented Bachur.
I heardit was ripped off from Bob Dylan
On the topic of original recordings, does anyone know if there is an actual studio recording of the song Sameyach which was composed by Mona Rosenblum and sung by MBD on the live In Jerusalem CD and HASC 5, and played by Moms on HASC 6 in a Mona Medley?
It was actually composed by R’ Baruch Chait and first appeared on a Kol Salonika tape called V’somachta.
You’re welcome.
Was your previous comment directed at the Bob Dylan post? I’m quite skeptical.
Didn’t Leibelle Haschel sing Vehviosim first?
Yes it’s from the first Toronto, and yes many songs there were from Yerachmiel Begun (at age 16-17), but not this one. Vahavioisim was composed by “Shlomo Zolty”.
BTW – It seems from the Toronto recording that there’s a third high part. Part of the choir sings the first part while other sing the high, therefore people took it to mean that it isn’t a third part but just a harmony, but I belive it was just because kids cannot go so high, and those that did, did so on “falsetto” voice…
Who is Shlomo Zolty?.did he compose other tunes?
Here is the original version of the song from Yerachmiel Begun
