"The hottest dance song this season is definitely “Ve’ahavtu ” followed by “Yoimom ” and they’re both Meilech Kohn’s. But people are starting to realize that the old songs had a certain uniquely leibedig appeal that they also want. Many times in recent months people have requested the vintage lively MBD and Avraham Fried or even Carlebach songs. I find myself singing ‘Kol hator nishma be’artzeinu’ and ‘He’ovar ayin vehe’osid adayin’ (from MBD’s ‘Kol Dodi’ and ‘Daagah Minayin’) — it’s interesting how those songs are now coming back.”
