A lot of the German musicians (and artists in general) were Jewish. Fritz Lang the German filmmaker was Jewish. He fled to America. Peter Lorre the famous Austrian actor was Jewish. He also fled to America.

Continuing the Al Bowlly kick, we have "Blue Moon", performed by Ray Noble and The Mayfair Dance Orchestra, featuring the King of Crooners, Mr. Al Bowlly:

In my mind, this is, without a doubt, the best version ever recorded of what is a true musical masterpiece of a song.

I can understand when you hold my hand
That it's love finding a way
I don't mind you feeling frilly
But when you start getting silly
Puh-leeze, Mr. Hemingway!

It's so plain to see you appeal to me
But you musn't lead me astray
For you have a secret passion
And you say it's quite the fashion
Puh-leeze, Mr. Hemingway!

I love affection
And you know how I can
I've no objection
But remember you're a gentleman

You're so kissable, it's permissible
If you steal a kiss it's okay
I adore you when you're gentle
But when you get sentimental
Puh-leeze, Mr. Hemingway!
