Moshe Beltzer, the father of Songs of Love Founder John Beltzer, has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer. He is 84 years old and doing the best he can under the circumstances.

In 1997, Moshe recorded 8 songs in the basement of his house where John had a studio set up. Most of the songs were made famous by Frank Sinatra and a handful by Nat King Cole. Moshe performed the songs in his inimitable style, identified by his charming Romanian accent. Moshe was born in Bucharest, Romania, on November 1, 1925. John and Songs of Love writer Carl Allocco worked out a deal to release the songs on Big Blue Sky Records, Carl's record label. The CD is called "Moshe Beltzer Sings!" and is now available on iTunes - all proceeds will go to the Songs of Love Foundation.

Carl, of course, has waived any royalties that he would normally receive so 100% of the sale of the CD will go to Songs of Love. Moshe loves music and helping children and this collection of songs will be his lasting gift to the world. To purchase the CD please visit www.moshebeltzer.com
Nancy Sinatra says . . . . "Nothing like a belting Beltzer to keep these great songs going. Moshe swings!"
