Andrews Sisters - Bei mir bist du schön.

“Bei Mir Bist Du Schön” is one of the most iconic swing-era recordings by The Andrews Sisters, released as a single in 1937 on Decca Records. The song became their breakthrough hit and helped define their close-harmony style, which would dominate American popular music through the late 1930s and 1940s. Originally, “Bei Mir Bist Du Schön” was written in 1932 as a Yiddish song for the musical Men Ken Lebn Nor Men Lost Nisht by composer Sholom Secunda and lyricist Jacob Jacobs. Before the Andrews Sisters recorded it, the song was relatively unknown outside Yiddish theatre circles. With English lyrics added and a swinging jazz arrangement, the Andrews Sisters transformed it into an international sensation. The title means “To Me, You’re Beautiful”, and the song’s infectious rhythm, playful delivery, and tight vocal harmonies made it hugely popular on radio, in dance halls, and at parties. It also played an important role in introducing elements of Jewish music into mainstream American pop culture. “Bei Mir Bist Du Schön” has since become a jazz and swing standard, recorded by countless artists, but the Andrews Sisters’ version remains the definitive and most celebrated interpretation. Released in 1937 Partly sponsored by Ooh Aah Records Copenhagen “Bei Mir Bist Du Schön” er en af The Andrews Sisters’ mest ikoniske indspilninger og udkom som single i 1937 på Decca Records. Nummeret blev deres store gennembrud og fastlagde den tætte vokalharmoni og swing-stil, som kom til at præge amerikansk populærmusik i slutningen af 1930’erne og 1940’erne. Sangen blev oprindeligt skrevet i 1932 som en jiddisch sang til teaterstykket Men Ken Lebn Nor Men Lost Nisht af komponisten Sholom Secunda og tekstforfatteren Jacob Jacobs. Før The Andrews Sisters indspillede den, var sangen stort set ukendt uden for det jiddische teatermiljø. Med engelske tekster og et swingende jazzarrangement blev den forvandlet til et verdenshit. Titlen betyder “For mig er du smuk”, og sangens smittende rytme, legende fremførelse og tætte vokalharmonier gjorde den ekstremt populær på radioen, til dans og ved fester. Den fik også stor betydning ved at bringe jødiske musikalske traditioner ind i den brede amerikanske populærkultur. “Bei Mir Bist Du Schön” er siden blevet en jazz- og swingklassiker, indspillet af utallige kunstnere, men The Andrews Sisters’ version står stadig som den mest berømte og definitive.
