This song was on two separate albums and the record cover of either album make no mention of a Y.M. Shapiro, but rather of a Chaim Meisels.

if u check you will see its the only soloist on the album not singing chasidish!

Lucky Wolf said...

It seems like you know what you're talking about.

But why isn't his name mentioned and why does it have a different name as the soloist?

Email me and i'll send you the cover.

The reason why Yisroel Meir Shapiro's name is not on the album is that he was a late addition to the album, whose cover was already printed. The other boy if i'm not mistaken has other solos on the album and sings chassidish. If you want to compare voices, check out Yisroel Meir on Amudai Shaish Vol. 2, the double album, on which he is a star soloist. You can check him out these days singing with the same style (albeit in a much deeper voice) on Acheinu.
