But none of them were the original from Die Dreigroschenoper (The Threepenny Opera). By Berthed Brecht, try his version or perhaps Lotte Lenya's version (wife of Kurt Weill). These give the best feeling of 1920/30's Germany. An accurate modern version comes from Ute Lempe.

@mrdarvill9 жыл бұрын
Just to point out to those calling this a cover Louis Armstrong was the first to release this as a song in it's own right (having been in the Three Penny Opera before) and he certainly sang it long before Bobby Darin or Sinatra who then covered it so due respect to the origin of the song and remember it was released in '56 so tastes and arrangements were not quite what your current taste may be.
@godbluffvdgg9 жыл бұрын
Wow, thanks so much for that info...I never looked into the earlier versions of the song believing Bobby Darin, who basically is synonymous with the song, was the author...You learn something new every day! P.S from wiki..."Mack the Knife" or "The Ballad of Mack the Knife", originally "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer", is a song composed by Kurt Weill with lyrics by Bertolt Brecht it premiered in 1928!

WOW!!!

Just because someone can hold a note does not mean that they can sing. a true singer is one who is blessed with charisma in their voice that will appeal to listeners n hold their attention....Louie Armstrong had a very unique singing voice and was an accomplished trumpet player...he is not talking the song he is singing the song....And he had far more than 2 hits...the man had a 40yr successful career and was one of the highest-paid entertainers of his time. not to mention that he did this as a black person during a time when segregation n racism was rampant.....Yes, ppl are entitled to express their opinion but to do it in such a nasty mean spirited disrespectful way is just uncalled for!!!

She talked about how he came and sat down at the table with her group when he took a well deserved break from performing. She thought that he was so kind, funny, and polite.
