Has anyone heard of Ike Freeman he was known as the Scottish Hebrew,his signature tune was a song called
" Only a Jew" and I have tried to find the words and music but have had no success
All you get on Google is a bit of his history etc, if anyone knows this song I would be very grateful to hear of it.

blimey, that's about as obscure as it gets!

Do you know if it was released as a single, or on any format, any labels spring to mind, or did you see it on a TV show or hear it on the radio?

And is it FreeDman, or Freeman (D or no D?)

year or approximate age?

Did find something I thought might be related to it, but didn't read it all the way through first time... so unsure if it's, erm the kind of thing yo're looking for (Yikes).

I decided on balance to not post a link.

Issued in 1933 on Regal Zonophone (MR 1094) - just a little before my time!

It is FreeDman.

Thanks for trying, 1933 would be right I was born in 1937 and my Dad used to sing it with his Bro in their act but they are both long gone now so it looks like no one remembers it anymore.
