I still get goosebumps on the first note of Swanee❤

Great documentary

What was the significance of him wearing black face? Seems to me he didn't need it to become famous.

Strange voice over.

Loving all the obscure videos on your channel thanks for sharing 😁👍

Liked and subscribed 👍😁

Let’s talk about roasting and eating starlings! How do they taste??

Leather jackets??? Or Yellow Jackets???

il était une fois, Elsa Esnoult elle ne pleure plus à cause de la chanson d’amour triste qui a du chagrin et qui te fait pleurer en sol majeure comme it’s a small world , mais nous on va ecouter un petit O Sole Mio à Elsa Esnoult , mais c’est Elsa Esnoult qui va écouter O Sole Mio qui ressemble à let it be des Beatles !

He grew me up. I vacant sing his songs today. My mother bought his greatest hit alum. She showed me her singing life was not racist. Music bridges that.

0:34 Mark Hamill???

Notice the lack of seat belts. Lol

What is name narator?

Is that dog at the beginning a smithfield collie?

How can we be sure that the premium bond numbers have been correctly imported into the new Ernie machines over the years? I bet there are millions of lines lost when importing and exporting and poor people haven't a clue... I'd be interested to know how they check that all the premium bonds truly do have a chance of being selected

The intro music with that empty movie set makes me feel so sad

The only thing bigger than Al Jolson, at that time, was his ego

When I was a child I had no idea one day I would be able to watch Fred Astaire as much and as often as I wanted to!

Excellent Video, love the Osprey and photograph them year round in Northern California

Errol FLynn, never was one as good before and never has been since, a one off.

In this world 🌎 of politics he could not sing 🎤 in black face 🙎🏿‍♂️and perform as a great singer in 2024.

Hopefully Rebecca didn't try going into pictures', yikes.

1963

Carole Lombard was absolutely stunning

All these commenters not realizing these are the most invasive and destructive birds on the planet. Yes, they are beautiful, but they push out all the other native species and pillage farms and crops.

All these comments about why he wore black face, it's like y'all didn't even watch the movie, he went on in black face the first time, for a drunk passed out friend, that wore black face, he was such a hit that very night, that top producers offered the drunk guy a job on their show, then he saw the black stuff behind al's ear, and figured it out, because the other guy was still drunk. 😂

Only showing EP once is disrespectful since she was the biggest star of those musicals and saved MGM from bankruptcy!!

BARF,,,BARF,,,BARF,,,BARF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow! Hollywood and the Stars. Being the movie junkie that I am, I used to watch that show every week when it was on the air. I think my favorite was 'Monster we have known and Loved'. This was my first time seeing 'The Immortal Jolson', though. It tells a good story about a man who needed to sing like you and I need to breathe.

Parsons head big as a medicine ball😺

My personal favorite musical star is Betty Grable. Especially the technicolor ones of the 1940s and '50s.

Musicals were made to put people in better spirits. The Great Depression and WW2 especially. Times were rough. World War. They helped take peoples minds off of the dark times the world was going through.

There has never been as great a performer as Al Jolson. Not even close. And, I do not base that on subjecture. I saw Jolson, and I've seen everyone since. If there ever will be his equal, I won't know, I'll be gone. But I go knowing I've seen many great singers and performers, and I've seen the best. Jollie!

I love these old nature docrumentarys!,,sure,the picture isn't as good as the modern one's,but so much easier to understand!👌 could these be digitally upgraded somehow?

Blackface has dated (as It should be) I will not argue with that - As for Al Jolson he is an important figure in song - and he had a glorious voice

My dad used to sing like Al Jolson, I know all of his songs, I thought he was a wonderful entertainer. His music was always playing in my house.❤

😆 cars parked inside the ground, just outside the boundry. 😅 26:15 onwards ❤

We had Play Safe films in Canada in the 1970s as well. Ours were produced by the War Amps, and mostly featured kids who had been involved in farm accidents and the like. One or two had been run over by trains.

That intro clip is from Top Hat, starring Fred Astaire, with a very young Bob Hope behind hin in the dancing chorus. Fred, using his taps as a machine gun sound, was revolutionary with its sound and the general public's fascination with the mob during the Prohibition Era of the Great Depression.

Jolson was a singing, dancing, whistling supernova. He gave everything. His energy was off the charts. Truly amazing in this era of No-Talent.

Yummy

Apparently, Fred Astaire didn’t like top hats etc.

Thank you 👏 I feel in love with these movies & stars in myblate teens in the 70's. It was a joy to watch your video. Informative, entertaining & full of details at that moment 😊

This was the first thing I saw of Bogart when I was 10 years old besides a couple of Warner Brothers cartoons, back in 1963!

cha cha cha

Connie Francis was voted the best female entertainer of the 20th century !
