Hello Gary & all friends! RRN63 ! xo ! Will be catching up via archive . May I just say I am not in love with my country anymore? I'm open to couples counseling, but I fear it's too late. We've grown too far apart. |

THE Danny Thomas? How fantastic! |
![]() |
![]() Tim! And, yes, THE Danny Thomas. It's ... I dunno ... mindblowing, basically. He's killing this! |
![]() |
Wed. 7/2/14 8:14pm
tim abdellah:
Agreed!! |
![]() |
![]() This is very surprising. Do you know where the original recording was from? |
![]() |
![]() No idea, Dave. Here's a brief blurb about the collection I got it from, though it's not any real help on that front: www.allmusic.com... |
![]() |
![]() Yeah, I was just looking at that. I suppose he may have had a secret career singing in Arabic. It's even surprising he was able to keep the language up that well. |
![]() |
![]() Here's what Wikipedia tells us: In 1932, Thomas began performing on radio in Detroit at WMBC on The Happy Hour Club. Thomas first performed under his Anglicized birth name, "Amos Jacobs Kairouz." After he moved to Chicago in 1940, Thomas did not want his friends and family to know he went back into working clubs where the salary was better, so he came up with the pseudonym "Danny Thomas" (after two of his brothers) .... |
![]() |
![]() This is pretty clearly being sung in Japanese, yeah? Khanh Ly is, of course, Vietnamese. But she performed quite a bit in Japan after she left her country for the U.S. in the 1970s. |
![]() |

Wed. 7/2/14 8:26pm

yeah, I don't think I've heard her sing in Japanese. Cool. |

![]() |
![]() Likewise, NGH. Almost had a cow when I heard it on "Mad Men." |
![]() |
![]() I remember that, James! I was all like "Holy Crap what is this awesomeness?!?" and then, duh, I remembered. |
