Sophie Tucker - My Yiddishe Momma free for downloading

Playing this at Christmas as I do so remember my lovely late mother in law Polly Foley who adored Sophie Tucker and i think this is a super recording and I say that as a little shiksa!

My mother was a Holocaust survivor and would sing this and similar songs after the fireworks in Brighton Beach. She took me every week and I was so young but I could feel their pain so deeply.

My Mom loved this. She would listen to this and cry. Her Mother Gert had a very tough life. She died a horrible death from Diabetes.

My mother took me to see Sophie Tucker perform at a theatre many years ago, well before I developed an appreciation of her work.

Many years ago I was fortunate to see Sophie Tucker in person at one of the clubs in Brooklyn!

BRAVO NO ONE SANG THIS PRAYER BETTER.

THIS is the DEFINITIVE perfomance of this song; make no mistake!

FOR MY THIS IS THE BEST RENDITION OF A YIDDISHE MAME. GRACIAS

My desert island disc. The one I would save from the waves.

What a hit!  You know, dear professor, that I normally refrain from commenting on things beyond my competence, but this one brings back memories of seeing the ¨Last of the red-hot mamas¨ on television when I was. maybe 11 or 12. A real three-handkerchief song.  Her Yiddish very understandable, btw, the sentiments: universal. Keep'em coming.

My mum was Catholic Same as I .But this songs speaks for all daughters who love there mum I still cry.My aunt used to sing it so beautiful. Love it xxxxxxx

Dear Sir Edmund, i love this song and the performance by sophie tucker. Thank you very much for posting this gem. 

Yiddish needs to live.

My dear parents loved this and it is a privilege to be able to listen to Sophie on U Tube . Need a box of tissues though.

Beautiful and powerful. I can't help but think of those young American men in WW2 whose last thoughts were of their mammas as they lay dying on the field of battle.

This always makes me cry. I had the best Yiddisha Momma ever.

My Dad used to sing this to us. He's been gone a long time and listening to this made me cry
