James Brown / Klezmer connection

[Bill Barabash <billb978...>]

James Brown was discovered by King Records owner Sydney Nathan in 1956.

Syd Nathan also produced what may well have been the first klezmer LP ever:
"Tantz: A Collection of Gay Jewish Dance Music" with Hymie Jacobson And His
Orchestra (King/DeLuxe 265-18).  This was a 10-inch 33-1/3 RPM issued circa
1952 with the following six tracks:
    Side A: 1. Russian Sher 2. Doina And Skotchna 3. Voloch And Frailachs
    Side B: 1. Yiddish Bulgar 2. Mazinke, Schweger, Potch 3. Palestinian 
Horras
