Answer to Trivia Question 6

In addition to writing That's A-Plenty, Lew Pollack wrote the music for My Yiddishe Momme, which Sophie Tucker recorded on Columbia. Jack Yellen wrote the words to this song, and also to Ain't She Sweet?, Crazy Words, Crazy Tune (Vo-Do-De-O-Do), Happy Days Are Here Again, and Hard Hearted Hannah (The Vamp of Savannah). Pollack and Yellen collaborated on other songs, but My Yiddishe Momme was their biggest hit together.
