Stephen Collins Foster (July 4, 1826 - January 13, 1864), known as "the father of American music", was an American composer, He wrote more than 200 songs, including Oh! Susanna", "Hard Times Come Again No More", "Camptown Races", "Old Folks at Home" ("Swanee River"), "My Old Kentucky Home", "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair", "Old Black Joe", and "Beautiful Dreamer", and many of his compositions remain popular today.
@@margaretthomas8899 I had chance to meet Cab Calloway and didn't go to the party.Henry LeTang was having a gathering in his home in Rockland County after The Cotton Club movie and he had all the greats there and I was invited. I never lived it down to this day. That was back in the 80's.
The songs: "Here Comes the Heavin' Line"; "Beautiful Dreamer" (background score); "Oh, Susanna" (sung by Al Jolson); "Camptown Races," "My Old Kentucky Home" (sung by Don Ameche and Al Jolson); "Ring, Ring de Banjo," "I Dream of Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair," "Old Black Joe" and "Swanee River" (sung by Jolson).
@@vascogomes3513 I am unsure as to that piano tune playing while Foster speaks to Christy. But @15:15 the parade song is "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again, Hurrah, Hurrah" but is an anachronism, since it was written during the Civil War, way after this meeting took place. The New Year's Eve favorite, Auld Lang Syne, @15:44; Also, Christy's Minstrels would not have marched in blackface and costume, neither would the real life Christy have worn blackface, as Mr. Interlocutor (the center man) he was the only one not in blackface.
@@nourchame019 I couldn't find this anywhere, halfway through now. Copyright expired long ago but Google doesn't bother if someone complains. I am from the UK, copyright here is 50 years, some of the early Beatles are public domain now. Thanks for this, I edited it together but there is a tiny overlap. The BLM idiots got me looking for De Camptown Races. Good stuff, thanks again BTW, that is NOT my picture on here!
I enjoyed this film it was styled like a play. The later biopic of Foster (I Dream of Jeanie 1952) wasn't at all good. I love Al Jolson, too, even though real life EP Christy, as the man in the center stage, likely didn't wear blackface, neither did minstrels march in their blackface
get over it. Don't diss Al Jolson. People disregard poor Stephen Foster, these days, as well as Jolson. Fact is, Foster's songs were well written and better than the usual minstrel songs of the day. Many of those songs were poorly written and vulgar and often offensive.

Thank you so much for this upload! I've been wanting to see this for ages. 💖💖💖
You're welcome!
32:32 I love the soundtrack that was composed it’s so beautiful 😁
Been searching for this for awhile. Thanks
What a heartbreaking story... the poor composer !
1939...Great Year for Films.
Pre WW2..
Beautiful quality as well
Don Ameche may be the star, but Al Jolson still outshines the whole cast. Thanks for posting!
came to see Jolson.
Great upload...Thankyou.......
You're welcome, sir.
I love Al!
Thanks so much!
I didn’t know Shane Dawson made a movie all the way back in 1939.
Oh my god. Lol.
I didn’t either. Time for a new, more honest film on his unique life.
이 영화의 계속 편을 부탁 합니다. 이 영화만큼 감동스러운 영화는 없었습니다.
그래,이 영화의 두 번째 부분을 업로드 계획하고 나는이 하나와 유사한 다른 동영상을 업로드 않았고 내 채널에서 가장 많이 본 영상입니다.
Somebody get me a heavin line
Great movie, is there another part to it?
Yeah, it's gonna be uploaded sooner or later because right now, I'm struggling with school stuff, so...
Best of luck with your school work. Looking forward to part 2 in the future.
Lol...
@@nourchame019 thanks for uploading this. I bought the DVD back in 2012, but my stupid in-laws stole my collection.
It’s spelled Suwannee River now.
It was always the Suwannee. Gershwin and Caesar Irving changed it to rhyme with his song (sung by Al Jolson) Swanee River.
Yeah the only time I see it spelled that way now is up in north Georgia ,a town called Suwanee .
@@ereynoldful3974 Reynoldful, I live here in “Suwannee”Georgia, but it’s spelled Suwanee, GA🤗
I've never seen an image of him with a mustache
I'm a Jolson fan, too, but his blackface bit wouldn't play too well today.
Cab Calloway wouldn't agree with you.

They portrayed the role of a slave in these movies as not a bad deal. 🤨
Not a slave, a hired hand.
Well out of copyright!
Lol I know it's copyrighted but I mean, I want people to enjoy old movies, so...

People might or will call this film racist oh well I like it

The ultimate sleezeball: To copyright someone else's hard work as your own. How can someone live with himself after doing that.
What do you mean???
@@nourchame019 Stephen Foster wrote Oh Suzzannah, and E.P. Christy performed it but did not give credit to the composer. Pretty simple
@@dovbarleib3256 I think that's where the word "copyright" became a thing, back in the 1850s. Steal and perform something that's not yours.
Forgive the extremely racist scenes with Al Jolson, and you have quite the picture.
Which and why?
