Musical Interlude: I posted some Lotte Lenya a few days ago, and it just brought to mind another song by her I love. Here she is with another Kurt Weill song, in a haunting arrangement.

"Speak Low," performed by Lotte Lenya.

Today In Labor History April 3, 1950: Composer Kurt Weill died. Weill’s most famous song was Mack the Knife ("Die Moritat von Mackie Messer"), which became a schlock classic after Bobby Darin’s rendition. However, Weill wrote the song as part of Bertolt Brecht’s “Three Penny Opera,” which was a socialist critique of the capitalist world. Weill was persecuted by the Nazis for his political views and his Jewish heritage. He fled to America, with his wife, singer Lotte Lenya. Some of Weill’s other well-known songs include: Alabama Song (covered by the Doors), Pirate Jenny (covered by Nina Simone), Mack the Knife (covered by Louis Armstrong), Der Kleine des Lieben Gottes (covered by John Zorn).
