Wonderful song from a very special singing group. The Ames Brothers were born in Malden, Mass to Ukrainian Jewish immigrants. They were a family of 11 children, 9 of whom survived childhood. The 4 youngest became this singing group. Joe, the oldest in the group, turned down an opportunity to sing with a touring company of the Metropolitan Opera Company at the urging of his mother who wanted the boys to remain together feeling it was their best chance to escape the poverty of the ghetto.
