Welcoming Shabbat with Adon Olam by the David Ricky Quartet

David Ricky is a South African singer musician based in Cape Town. Born in Pretoria into a musical family where music was just as important as food. He grew up listening to the likes of Franco Corelli, Harry Belafonte, Miriam Makeba, Abdullah Ebrahim, Johnny Clegg, David Kramer, and many others.

He plays clarinet, saxophone and piano but has recorded mainly as a singer. Most of the songs recorded are original works written and composed by his father Eugene Woolfson AKA Eugene Wessels. David spent many years studying singing in both Jazz and Opera genres. He also played in various bands and did many nightclub gigs. 

David's style has been influenced by crooners, balladeers, and easy listening artists --singers ranging from Tony Bennett, Michael Bublé’, Jamie Cullum and of course the legends like Frank Sinatra, Perry Como and Al Martino.

In this video the David Ricky Quartet plays and sings Adon Olam.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
