Thank you, Marc.. it's greatness hearing these legends again.Jolson was the greatest entertainer in the world!

A true treasure!

Brilliant! (UK)

Joan Davis was the funniest comedian since Fanny Brice. I loved her in Hold That Ghost with Abbot and Costello. And her TV show, I Married Joan , with Jim Backus. That song, "I'll be Seeing You" was written for all the women who lost husbands and lovers in world war 2. It's a heart wrenching song and Jolie sings it so well.

"You're like a breath of Spring..........when Jolie sings.........about your.......baby faaaaaace."

Those two unique voices riffing jokes together was magic.

When I was a kid in the 1960's my grandparents took me to a theater in Boston to see an All Jolson Impersonation contest. I think I was around 7 years old. My grandfather was a fan of minstrel shows. I had no idea what they were about. So One after another the contestants got and sang one or two songs, some played the piano and some strummed a banjo while singing. Most stood there in the classic Al Jolson pose with their hands clasped together at their chest and all sang their heart out. The one who won the contest sang Camp Town Races. When he came up to get his trophy and cash prize it was discovered he was actually Black and that the MC informed him in front of the audience that he was disqualified due to his race. He was very upset and stormed off the stage and then they gave the trophy to the second place winner. While the performances were amazing, I have always considered this the most surreal and bizarre part of my childhood. The contest was followed by a 90 minute minstrel show. I relayed this to a Black friend of mine 20 years later who said they would have saved a lot of money had they hired "real Black folk." It took some time before I fully grasped what he said.

Fabulous! 💖🎹💖

Classic.

only 64 when he died. way too soon. his 2nd career was just getting going...

did they ever make a album together?.. that would have been amazing

i love this version of Mammy from the movie. im humming it in my head all day

I like Sinatras version.

I’ve always wondered what the extra ruckus is at 7:31 🤔 a great version of Robert E Lee

Where is Perry Como ? I think he sang ' By the Light of the Silvery Moon ' in a tribute to Jolson .

Great show!

Jolson vocals "incredible"

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

Durante & Jolson...Such classics! I can't stop smiling listening to those guys.

too short to notice bless him and artist singer musician artist more please e.g.the whole thing please

Nice rarity!

Brilliant!

I grew up on the unique JOLSON VOICE! but discovering these radio extracts. I realized there is much more different aspects of him to enjoy!

Yo…. 😬

Two of the greatest of all time.

It bespeaks of the death of Western Civilization that Californians are now singing, "California, how fast can we leave ya! That GoldenGate is filled up with Reprobation and Human feces!"

Two wonderful entertainers R.I.P.💐🌹🌺🌻

Goddamn this is a gem

You call this a VIDEO podcast? Audio with a bunch of stills. BAH!

Al sang the tune Avalon in a higher key that l have heard before, very entertaining.

Red Nichols was playing in the orchestra for this 4:24

This is a great show, as are all the Jolson/ Cantor together ones are. The best collection complete CD set from Brian Gari
