Sher Cha Cha
Johnny Conquet, His Piano and Orchestra
RCA Vicrtor LSP-1789
1958
Terrific cover. I think this record sets the bar higher for me when it comes to vintage Cha Cha. This is a great record. Conquet takes Jewish folk songs and dances and turns them "into mambo, merengue and cha cha cha".
Unusual, peppy and great fun!
OOOH this is a great one! Very unusual. It DOES sound very Yiddish at times and rather Exotica as a result! I like it!
