[78-L] Mon Collecion incluye les 78s de Quebec!

[Jack Palmer]

    I have searched for foreign language versions of THE PRISONER'S SONG 
ever since  I started researching Dalhart.  So far I have found several and 
am sure here are still others I have not ran across yet.    Jack

As I have traveled and otherwise collected, I have sought out foreign
language versions of English language hits.  I've found Hungarian
versions of Little Richard and Elvis hits, Finnish versions of Rosemary
Clooney's hits, Russian versions of Glenn Miller hits, Xmas caroles in
Chinese, trucker songs in German (On the Road Again is turned into Auf
die Autobahn), etc.  One of the most famous 78s of foreign language hits
was Tokyo Shoe Shine Boy which I have, and was re-created in the
soundtrack of the original movie M*A*S*H.
