Wanted man
“Sing It Again, Sam!” The inimitable song stylings of Sam Sacks Arliss Records For those unfamiliar with the wonder of WFMU’s Beware of the Blog let this be a welcome introduction. Go to BOTB and listen to Sam’s fantastically awful mauling of standards. A private recording on par with the best of the worst from Mrs. Miller, Lucia Pamela and Florence Foster Jenkins. I gotta find a copy!

For a minute I thought North Korea’s Kim Jong ‘Mentally’ Il was dissing the dictator lifestyle for C&W?

The story of “Sam I Am”
Sam owns the deli next door from this recording studio. Nearsighted Sam unknowingly wore his wife’s glasses on his way to work that day and well… The rest is history. OY VEY!

Apparently Sam Sacks performed for an audience of Jewish businessmen; his album is reviewed with four stars (!!!), per Billboard magazine, May 1, 1961, page 32, as a new release.
I wonder if this was Sam Sacks, of the Uneeda Shine Company and Acme Sales, circa 1951 or so?

Assuming he had a wife, was it still a Sam Sacks marriage?
