Throwback Thursday Musical Special: Frances Faye (Cohen) Sings "Oif’n Pripitchik" & "Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ra" on The Ed Sullivan Show

On this Throwback Thursday, we're going back to June 1957 to a performance by Frances Faye on The Ed Sullivan Show. Faye, born Frances Cohen, showed that she could sing both Yiddish and Irish lullabies.

Faye's showbiz career began at the age of 15 in nightclubs where she first became a star. She appeared in one Bing Crosby film; Double or Nothing singing "After You". She wrote the song "Well All Right" recorded by the Andrews Sisters. Faye made her solo recording debut in 1936.

At the piano 65 years ago, Faye sang the Yiddish lullabye Oif'n Pripitchick followed by the Irish Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ra. 

Enjoy!
