- Posted by the International Al Jolson Society, www.jolson.org, this is an excerpt of the 01 Oct 1946 tribute broadcast to Al Jolson. This star-studded program originated from both New York and California, and included George Jessel, Eddie Cantor, Dinah Shore, Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Perry Como, and others, in an hour long tribute to the World's Greatest Entertainer upon the release of The Jolson Story. This podcast includes songs by Eddie Cantor, Dinah Shore, and Frank Sinatra, along with the ending of the program by Mr. Jolson, illustrated with pictures of the stars. If there is any doubt about how those in the business felt about Al Jolson, this should get rid of them for all time. The complete broadcast, along with other Jolson radio shows, is available at the Official Al Jolson Website at www.jolson.org, from its posting in October through the end of November.

Very surprised and happy to hear how wonderful Dinah shore singing that Judy Garland standard "you made me love you" . She is another underrated and sadly forgotten singer.😱🤔🤗
Thanks for the comment, and welcome to the gang. Yes, Dinah did justice to the Jolson classic that Judy later took for her own. Please do subscribe to this TH-cam channel, and visit the IAJS at the website www.jolson.org and the Facebook page bit.ly/IAJSFacebook

Jessel’s tribute is saying that Jolson gave so much happiness through his singing is great
If only the audiences of today would appreciate his talents.
@@MarcLeavey totally agree; it’s a different world now with so much indifference, but he still has his fans like us.
@@MarcLeavey having said there, I’ve seen youngsters on You Tube saying they love Al Jolson on hearing him for the first time, so his magic still has its effect
Many do!@@MarcLeavey
Great video tributes to Al
Thanks, glad you enjoy it. Feel free to share it with others!
Al made me love his singing and his patriotism just 63 years ago.
Much the same, Bruce, and his influence continues
This is great
Only 115 views
More people should appreciate Jolson
I wish he was on the radio these days
Rick Amira Thanks, spread the word and enjoy the others

Pauline Bowell - Not sure what you wanted to say, but see that the views are up to 241!
I discovered Al Jolson in the 1990s and Frank Sinatra soon thereafter. Jolson taught me so much about singing. And as a classical music lover, I appreciated the New Yorker's assessment of Sinatra as the Fischer-Dieskau of popular music.
Wow, at my age, it is difficult to imagine first discovering Sinatra and Jolson, must have been a revelation. Please do subscribe to this channel, and pop over to the website of the International Al Jolson Society at www.jolson.org for much more Jolson music to enjoy! Thanks for your comment.

Thanks, I note that two years ago when it was posted it was noted to have 115 views, now over 5200. Still not enough for this piece, but nice that you, and many others, appreciate it. See more at the Jolson website www.jolson.org, or the Facebook page for the International Al Jolson Society
I hope that the statue of Jolson at his grave will be protected and not suffer the same fate as Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt in Portland.
I grew up in this era and with these people . Thanks for posting as this is one of the few ways to keep in touch with this time of the BEST music!
Thanks for the nice thoughts. Share this, and the others, so that all can enjoy this music!

@@MarcLeavey thanks I’ll check it out!
He was the greatest,hands down
Frank Sinatra singing to the Morris Stoloff arrangement of “Rockabye” is absolutely priceless. 🎶
Totally agree and glad you enjoyed
True, this wasn't uplifting and inspirational but bluesy. Jolson and Judy Garland owned this song!!🤔🤗👍
Sinatra. Very cool!!
And the same music background
Rick Amira Yup, Frank used Jolie's arrangement
He was 31 years old
Where is Perry Como ?
I think he sang ' By the Light of the Silvery Moon ' in a tribute to Jolson .
I like Sinatras version.
Did Al Jolson do any other work with young Frank Sinatra??
I wish. Don't know of any other such recordings off the top of my head.
Ok thanks
