"Joseph, Joseph"  is an English version of the original
Yiddish "Yosl, Yosl", composed by (Yiddish theatre star)
Nellie Casman and S. Steinberg.

A superb version (in the original Yiddish) appears on
The Klezical Tradition  CD "Family Portrait"
sung by Fraidy Katz  (www.kamea.com).

Inter-war Argentine guitar legend Oscar Aleman
performs a hot instrumental version of it, too.
Re-release availalbe on Acoustic Disc )
