Only one King of show business: Al Jolson and all the others follow behind him! Gave so much to entertaining and making people happy! Bing Crosby said that Al could ' generate some sort of electricity' when he sang! Wonderful video here thanks!
Thanks to everyone for your comments! Let's pass this link around so that folks who only know one side of Al Jolson can get a better appreciation for just who he was!
God bless you, Jolie! You were the BEST kind of American, born on a foreign shore, you came to this country and gave Her your all! We need a BILLION like you. If there's anything waiting for us when we check out of this world, I know that you're hanging in damned fine company. I hope I'm deemed good enough to shake your hand.
Jolson] has been to more Army camps and played to more soldiers than any other entertainer. He has crossed the Atlantic by plane to take song and cheer to the troops in Britain and Northern Ireland
