    Back in the 60s - 70s my dad used to go around the house singing Mammy to the tune of Swanee. That's how I got introduced to Al Jolson.

    I wonder why the first upload was removed. I love this musical number. Certainly one of my favorites. It's just beautiful. Beautiful music, beautiful set, and I love the "dated" effects, it adds such a surreal vintage charm. It's magical

    i have never understood what it is about Jolson's voice that is so contagious it just grabs you but why its one on its own

      Al Jolson records, movies were all ways enjoyed in Argentina, and other South American countries. For somebody going back as far as he did, prior to mass world wide media communication, and singing mostly in English, It is incredible!@@MartinTellColomboFernandez

      @@marcoandres8830 He was very popular at that time. I don' t know HOW popular was here in South America or especifically here in Argentina (my country), but he was very known for he's songs. In the '50s, argentine comedian actor Alfredo Barbieri played tribute and impersonate him (doing playback) in some movies.

    Love this video, especially the first half, b ut it's impossible not to recoil from the blackface. It was the times but chronological forgiveness only goes so far. My father loved Jolson.

    Robert Wagner wrote in his autobiography that Barbara Stanwyck described Jolson as "a son of a bitch". But he was one hell of a showman.

    Jolson was incomparable. And the tune! By Harry Warren, the least famous of all the great songwriters. He, too, was great. Jolson's wife Ruby Keeler in one of her better dance performances. Unfortunately the blackface vignette is deeply cringey.
