Leo Fuld was among the world's royalty of popular Yiddish songs and the last great performer of this genre. His career started well before the 2nd World War and ended with his death in 1997. Prior to WWII, Fuld was one the the most popular recording and concert artists in Europe and America. Possessing an instantaneously recognizable voice, Fuld recorded throughout Europe and the Americana's in many languages, including Yiddish, English, German, French, Ifrite and Dutch. His career after the war once again made his name popular throughout the world, and on the most prestigious night club and concert stages. At 83 he recorded "The Legend", probably his best record ever, called the ''Sgt. Pepper of Yiddish Music'' (Abe Goldstein)
