Zygmunt Białostocki was a Polish Jewish musician, born in 1887 at Białystok, died around 1942 in Warsaw, Poland. He was a Jewish composer of many popular songs, and a première pianist in Warsaw between the World Wars.
Between 1925-1930 he was music director and conductor of the Municipal Theatre in Lodz. Later he moved to Warsaw, where he worked in “revi-teater,” also known as kleynkunst (caberet}. He worked with the lyricist Zenon Frivald-Vardan (Zenon Friedwald). His song M’ken nisht tsvingen tsu keyn libe was popularized by the film actor and singer Eugeniusz Bodo; its Polish version is called Nie można kogoś zmuszać do miłości. His tango Rebeka, built on Chasidic motifs and sung by Chasidic Jews[1] as zmiros was popular in nightclubs, coffee houses and restaurants across Warsaw between the wars.
