Ah Shlomo!

I read this article written by Shulem Deen about a charming voice that i like a lot:

I haven't seen the Broadway musical. I am not into musicals, except the classical ones like West Side Story, Mary Poppins…
I didn't actually know the story of this Hasidic singer who gives me goose bumps when his voice whispers his holy words in my ears.
Apparently, he was a chaud lapin* (*hot bunny, what you call horn-dog).
I will call that, a man, who doesn't want Hasidic frustrations. :-)
The funniest thing is that he remains very famous in the community despite his eviction for making women sing with him, for having touched them, hugging them…
Whatever he had had a hard-on or not, when he hugged them, honestly who cares? That's human nature… And that's flattering…
If i had met him and, in age to have a sexual relationship, he did not have probably slept in my bathroom but… :-)
Is there a better way to learn a foreign language on a singing pillow? No. :-)

My two favorite songs by him are:

A live in Paris with some Jewish Parisian ancestors of mine, i hope so.

Can you see his sparkling eyes? :-)

And a last one, with a jazzy harmony:
