Re: Four Quesions on Am Yisroel Chai

Well since Raymond Scott's 'Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals' dates 
from 1937 and has the same theme let's just assume that Reb Shlomo picked it up 
subconsciously.

  Shlomo Carlebach wrote the popular melody in the 60's when the leaders of the 
Soviet Jewry Movement (Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry) came to him and asked 
him to compose an anthem.  This can be verified by Avi Weisz of the Hebrew 
Institute of Rivendale who spoke at Shlomo's levaya and mentiioned the nigun.  
It appears on the I Heard the Wall Singing recording of the 1960's.  And I have 
that recording in my collection.
