Growing up in the 70s and 80s in a Bilingual household I have memories of Yom Erlich tapes, as I grew older I developed a deeper understanding and appreciation of his music, today is his 33rd yartzit and I was wondering if anyone else here grew up with his music.

I then discovered a treasure trove of his work on Youtube . My favorite is Avram Fried’s video rendition of Yaakov!!

Every year before Shavous, my father would listen to to the song of the malach going to the other nations asking if they want the Torah.
