  • Posted by the International Al Jolson Society, www.jolson.org, here is an excerpt of the 06 Mar 1947 Eddie Cantor program with guest star Al Jolson. Here is Al Jolson singing two songs not elsewhere recorded, both associated with Eddie Cantor. Although Jolson introduced "If You Knew Susie," it was Cantor who popularized it, and "Ida, Sweet As Apple Cider" was sung by Eddie as a tribute to his wife. Here's Jolie doing both, along with comments from Cantor. Along with a photo of the pair from the late 1940s, there is an article from Variety describing this show and the one the day before, which was featured on the site last week. The show will be on the website from its posting in March through the end of April. Taking the Variety article to heart, there was not before, and has not been since a talent such as Al Jolson, and the IAJS is here to help you enjoy his works.

    I thought Jolson was going to pass out after “Susie”, he really gave it his all! This was a classic!

    Great video, any recordings of Al Jolson with Eddie Cantor and Nick Parkyakarkus (Harry Einstein)?

    • @MarcLeavey

      There are many recordings with Eddie Cantor from the radio shows that they did together, and Harry Einstein's Parkyakarkus was a regular on Jolson's Colgate radio show, of which there are a handful of broadcasts existing. You can check out what is available on the IAJS website, www.jolson.org - under the Audio Section on the Society page.

    I'm looking for Jolie and Eddie singing "Sonny Boy (What's My Name?). Any idea if it exists anywhere?

      Gary, I'm not sure that you heard Jolson do it with Eddie Cantor. We have recordings of Jolson's appearances on Cantor shows, and Cantor with Jolson, and it is on none of them. Jolson did the routine with Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy on the first episode of the Kraft Music Hall, and again with the Andrews Sisters when they guested on the Music Hall. Jerry Lewis also did the routine with his father, and again with his son, switching roles. I hope that helps. Do check out the website at www.jolson.org, where there is a comprehensive list of all known Jolson recordings, and join the International Al Jolson Society if you're not already a member!
