Benny Bell was a Jewish American singer-songwriter who reached popularity in the 1940s, with a comeback in the 1970s. He is particularly remembered for his risqué but cheerfully optimistic songs.Benny Bell was born to an immigrant Jewish family in New York City and like many others who were born and raised on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Benny Bell’s first language was Yiddish. His father wanted him to be a rabbi, but after trying various odd jobs including self-employed street peddler, Benny Bell decided to pursue a career in vaudeville and music, because he found employment writing lyrics for music and also music for lyrics. After this initial introduction to "show business" Benny Bell took to the Vaudeville stage as 'Benny Bimbo'. Making people laugh was what he was all about.  ~Source: JSA
