Throwback Thursday Comedy Special: Red Buttons Gives NY Alumni Award to Fyvush Finkel

At the New York Alumni Association in 1998, Red Buttons presented an award to Fyvush Finkel in recognition of his many years on the Yiddish and Broadway stages.

During the evening, Buttons showed off his Hebrew and Yiddish (actually Japanese) singing abilities. 

Finkel entertained the crowd with a solo performance of Tradition and If I Were a Rich Man from Fiddler on the Roof. He also sang I'm Glad I'm Not Young Anymore from Gigi.

Enjoy!
