A music fan from california , August 23, 1998
disappointing
i bought this cd because it was supposed to be jewish music artists to
be jolson, crosby et al. i assumed there would be some songs in
english. there is one by jolson. the rest are in hebrew. the patter by
sam levinson is not music and dated. the dialogue by molly picon is
needless. altogether disappointing
