Niggun Un-Neshama: How to Destroy a Beautiful Song

I received this link via email. Someone has taken a beautiful, holy niggun and perverted it. I can't even imagine what they were thinking when they made this arrangement. It is truly hard to believe. Shlomo Carlebach, z'l, must be spinning in his grave.

The good news is that Shlomo Katz, who popularized Shlomo's "Niggun Neshama" is releasing his new album any day and has recorded the niggun in a way that would make Reb Shlomo proud.

    Well I'm sure if you thought techno-Eurotrash-trance-club-disco music was spiritual you'd love the new version.

    Can't understand why it took Shlomo Katz 2-1/2 years after he "found" this tune to release it, while Neshama was able to release it right away. Or perhaps that's the answer - that if he did it at the same time, her CD wouldn't sell???
    We await the release of Reb Shlomo's "Wake Up World" and the countless other unrecorded niggunim that many people have but cannot release because of the family's control issues!

    Hey MO, Did this niggun really debut at a Chasuna of one of your children???
