| White on bright green is very difficult to read. Also, while Kurt Weill wrote the music to "Alabama Song" (Bertolt Brecht wrote the lyric), he was not the original performer. It is part of the opera "The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny." The earliest recording seems to be the 1956 production of the opera, with Lotte Lenya (Weill's wife) singing the song. |
