my latest #wikipedia biography, for Theodora "Teddi" Schwartz, a charming Yiddish and English language folk singer from New York City who lived to 103. Her small claim to fame is that she co-translated the Yiddish song Dana Dana into English, where it was sung by Joan Baez and later popularized around the world in many more translations.
Apparently she was descended from a #klezmer family too, though I'd need to do more research on that.

Teddi Schwartz - Wikipedia

Although a few of her songs from her self-published 1970 LP are on youtube, the transfer is not great and I don't think they're the best ones. Here's a sweet one, her #Yiddish version of John Jacob Niles' "Go 'Way From My Window"

Finally an article I can add to the #wikipedia category "American women centenarians"
