Shvayg mayn harts (Hush, my heart) by Herman Yablokoff - the source of eden ahbez's Nature Boy

The song was in the 1935 Yiddish theater show Papirosn. Years later eden ahbez paid Yablokoff $25,000 out of court to settle a plagiarism complaint. Listen to the chorus and see if you think it was stolen. Some say they were both stolen from Antonin Dvorak’s 1887 “Piano Quintet No. 2” - which may have been stolen from Czechoslovakian folk music. Pianist: Aviva Enoch Vocals: Jane Peppler. For more see
