Louis



My Nephew lost a real uncle. This blog is for them.

Louis Davids (no Wiki) was a Dutch singer and entertainer in the 1930's. His language skills (song texts) are still remarkable to today's standards. When you like Dutch language. Underestimated, he was the Godfather of Dutch stand-up-comedians. Here are some tubes and tracks – all in Dutch language.

- The Nickel song (Dubbeltje – Kwartje) is famous and pathetic
- The Scheveningen Beach song is romance
- The football-match (Ajax – Blauw Wit) is all humor
- The (Zuiderzee) South See ballad is Dutch history
- Voor de Bakker ('Done') is a Dutch saying since this song
- Summer Telegrams (.mp3) sounds like a 1937 rap
- His most famous 1937 'Ford' song is here in .mp3 format

Enjoy
