A while back, suki&ding productions put out an all-star CD and I think it’s about time for another one. Which are your 10 favorite singers you would like to see on such an album?
shwekey, shwekey, shwekey, shwekey, shwekey, baruch levine, shloime dachs, gabay, yehuda!, and did i mention shwekey?
1.avraham fried 6.gideon levine
2.mbd 7.yaakov shwekey
3.shlomo simcha 8.yeedle
4.dovid gabay 9.abie rotenberg
5.yossi green 10.yehudah green
there are many more singers i would love to hear but this is my first choices but if suki and ding want to put out a cd only with avraham fried that would be the best..
i like almost every type of music except kvetchy music.but i love writing lyrics if anyone has a tune they need words to…(nooo…not for free,sorry)
Eclipse- if i ever need lyrics ill look u up but as of now i take all my lyrics from tanach although i do have one english song
ok good luck
eclipse, I was wondering, how do you get songs to singers? How do you get their info? How do you get them to listen to you?
The All Stars today are:
1) Mordechai Ben David
2) Avraham Freid
3) Lipa Schmeltzer
4) Yeedle Werdyger
5) Benny Freidman
6) Yisroel Werdyger
7) Berri Weber
8) Dovid Gabay
9) Aaron Razel
10) Abie Rottenberg
what are the parameters for all star. chosson’s list has some nice names but I dont know if some of them are still/ever were all stars.
Chosson
How can Shwekey not be on your list he is better than almost every guy there?!
arc- You’re right. I don’t think there are clear parameters, it’s just in my opinion.
WIY- Better than who?
1) Mordechai Ben David
2) Avraham Fried
3) Lipa Schmeltzer
4) Yaacov Shwekey
5) Chaim Yisroel
6) Gad Elbaz
7) Shlomie Daskal
8) Dovid Gabay
9) Itzik Eshel
10)Ohad Moskowitz (when he doesn’t shout @ the top of his lungs.)
Bein_hasdorim
I agree about Chaim Yisroel
I disagree about Daskal; Shwekey and Ohad
and while I like the others you mentioned I don’t think they are better then the ones I mentioned
Chosson
Is that a serious question?! Other than Avraham Fried and MBD I don’t think there’s anyone on your list who can debatably considered a better singer than Shwekey. Abie Rottenberg hardly can be considered a vocalist but he’s a great composer. Lipa Shmeltzer doesn’t have a good voice he’s just an entertainer. Aron Razel is decent at best. Yeedle has his moments but doesn’t have a great voice either.
Bein hasdorim
I can’t believe you would put Lipa befor Shwekey. Lipa can’t sing. His voice is not considered a good voice. Can he entertain? YES! Sing? Not too well. Shloime Daskal should be moved up on that list he is so underrated.
There are 3 categories of Jewish music. Category #1 is Shlomo Carlebach zl. Only one in there is him. Category #2 is MBD. Only one in there is him. Category #3 is everybody else. Avramel is #1, Shwekey #2, who cares about the rest?
Last night I was at Mendy Werdyger’s chasuna for his daughter. So I had a concert of Mendy, his son Sruly, MBD, his son Yeedle.
Who are all-stars? Those who sell.
When I listen to music it’s not about who can take the highest notes, it’s about good music, a good voice, and good singing.
while shwekey has a good voice, some good songs, he doesn’t sing to well
It isn’t a best voice list.
Lipa is an all star. Abie Rottenberg great guy not an all star.
Chosson
Shwekey doesn’t sing too well? I’m not sure what you mean. What’s called singing “well” in your book. Shwekey is an all around great singer. If you mean he doesn’t have different color bekeshes, well that’s what makes Lipa sing “well.”
arc
I’ll substitute Chaim Yisroel for Abie Rottenberg
Theprof1
You put it rather well. However I would put Avraham Fried in his own leage as well. After that comes Shwekey et al.
What’s all the hype about shwekey?
i enjoy listening to mbd more than anyone else, its not only about singing ability
back in the old days my favorite “singer” was bob dylan
but when it comes to a singing voice shwekey is superb
WIY yeah I think you may be right. Avramel has an amazing voice range. Several years ago he introduced MBD at a concert. He said, a voice like Mordechai’s comes once in a generation. But why in my generation?
I’ll say it again. An All-Star is a singer who sells. Who cares whether a voice critic thinks a voice is great or not. If he sells thousands of CDs and can get thousands of dolars for a concert or chasuna, then he’s an all-star.
Mod-80
Back inthe old days, what did you think about Bryan Adams?
bryan adams was already after my “old days” so i couldnt say
Chosson
I wish Bryan Adams was Jewish he was one of my favorites when I used to listen. Amazing songs and amazing vocalist. He puts feeling in when he sings.
Avrohom Freid is in the MBD league.
Lipa is possibly the biggest *star* right now.
Yeedle has some great songs but is only a meh singer. I’ve heard several of his songs sung bt Daskal and he makes the so much better.
Boruch Levine imho has an odd sounding voice.
Shwekey!!!!! Boeeeeeee
(My favorite!!!!!!!!!)
Chosson; ur right! i’m actually very into music, & after the first two I wasn’t really putting em in order as i was cutting and pasting. I’m love israeli/sefardi music so I put in some of them and the not so well known IL singers.
Yes WIY; Ein Hochi Nami, Lipa’s an entertainer a good one at that but does not come before Shwekey at all.
I just want to say though i’m not a big fan of Ohad, I think he had much potential just doesn’t know hot to sing well.
If he could only learn to control his powerful voice,
not use such high notes so often, & put some feeling into
his singing, ppl wud enjoy him more.
Srully Williger. Shwekey. MBD. Lipa. Shloime Daskal. Shloimy Dachs.
Not sure how far back Mod 80 goes. But I enjoyed Kansas and Chicago (still do). As for All Stars, in no particular order my preferences run from Reb Shlomo, Diaspora Yeshiva Band and anything Arthur Fielder and the Boston Pops plays. Sometimes Andre Rieau (sp).
Eitan Katz. Chaim Dovid. Karduner. They don’t entertain, they inspire.
i’ll go for shwekey, dovid stein, baruch levine, gabay, shloime dachs, pruzansky- i know it’s not 10, but that would be AMAZING!!!!!!!
MBD, Shloime Gertner, Boruch Levine, Isaac Honig, Yaakov Shwekey, Abie Rottenberg, Yisroel Werdyger, Benny Friedman, Dovid Gabay, Shloime Dachs, Shloime Daskal, Michoel Pruzansky (sorry, it’s 12, but I Luuuv Jewish Music!!).
Hey!!!!! What about the greatest Jewish singer of all time? MATISYAHU!!!
Shwekey, Shwekey & Shwekey!!!
MBD, Yehuda Green, Avraham Fried, Yossi Green, Benny Friedman, Shlomo Katz, Eitan Katz, Abie Rottenberg, Shloimy Daskal, and Baruch Levine
Where are the traditional cantors on these lists? Herstik? Malovany? Miller? Stark? Helfgot? Fisher? Craimer? Has the appreciation for putting our prayers to music using the nusach of our tradition been completely lost???
No specific order:
Shwekey, Avraham Fried, Ari Goldwag, Shloime Daskal, Dovid Gabay, MBD, Gad Elbaz, 8th Day, Benny Friedman, Avi Begun (upcoming artist)
Or just Shwekey by himself. That’s enough!!!
Nope. I think all these singers are boring. Who wants to listen to the same 5 words over and over again?
Dudu Fisher, Dedi, Avraham Fried, Sruli Williger, Shlomi Dachs, Shlomo Simcha, MBD, Lipa, Abie Rottenberg,
What about SHLOIMY GERTNER????? My favorite by far!!!
I dont know if Suki and Ding would ever put them on an All star collection, but by the definition of “All Star” posited here, no top 10 jewish All Star music cast would be complete without the likes of
George Gershwin,Leonard Bernstein, Art Garfunkle,Irving Berlin,
Neil Diamond, Pauk Sedaka, Neil Simon, and yes, Mod 80 Bob Dylan.
From Dylans time, perhaps 80 remembers David Lee Roth lead singer for Van Halen. The Beastie Boys, and Steely Dan all Jewish.
neil simon?
Paul Sedaka? ohhh, he transposed simon & sedaka’s first names
at least paul sedaka is a singer
neil simon is a playwright
Your right. I meant Paul Simon. Should have stuck with “Simon and Garfunkle” 🙂
BS”D
MBD
Avraham Fried
Lipa
Shwekey (reluctantly but this is based on popularity)
Haim Israel
Yisroel Werdyger
Yeedle
Shloime Gertner
Y.M. Helfgot
Dudu Fischer (again, popularity)
Who really belongs there as well:
Michoel Schnitzler (not on voice but on originality)
Benny Friedman
