Hymie Jacobson

[1] His sister, Henrietta, married Yiddish theatre actor Julius Adler; his brother, Irving, was also a performer.

A coupletist, Jacobson composed both music and lyrics to many of the comic songs he sang and played piano to accompany himself.

In the 1940s he organized his own orchestra in which Paul Pinkus and the Ellstein brothers played; they accompanied famous singers like Jennie Goldstein.

Two of his other songs were Mit Fertsik Yor Tsurik (Forty Years Ago), and Palestina Undzer Heym.
