Fantastic!! He goes back a long time. that the majority now cannot even recall ever existed. but his voice/ impact/ presence remains as potent as it ever was!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for uploading the greatest hits from the brilliant, entertaining Al Jolson.! My late father loved his music and we grew up listening to Al's wonderful, timeless songs..I couldn't care less if people are offended by bl*ck face..It was a different time and this iconic artist had far more musical talent than most of the 'so-called' singers of today..These imposters use auto-tune because they're incapable of carrying a tune.. Don't listen to the tiresome, woke neurotics.!! You have made my night, this is the most amazing trip down memory lane..😁💖👍👏🇦🇺
What a special voice…so full of emotion, joy, vulnerability. I watched The Al Jolson story every night when WOR TV in NYC ran it all week … My dear Dad pantomimed him at club dates in the NY area in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s! I sometimes sing Jolson tunes to ol’ folks who love the music!
My dad was an attorney but emulated him so much. I didn't realize how much until I became a fan. Now I see how much he influenced my dad! I sing old songs to elderly people when I visit nursing homes. Music stays in an inpenetrable part of the memory ❤
Having a father who would be 100 years old this year, this was his era’s tuning and he sang this beautifully with his natural tenor through to the low bass - miss him
Al Jolson wasn't a racist. When he dressed up in black face, he was trying to bring attention to the black race, which he loved from the depths of his heart. As a white man, I love the black race and all the races in our planet. Lets leave race out of it and enjoy Al Jolson's music.
In Jolson's day, blackface was an established makeup for minstrels, and he was part of Dockstater's Minstrels for a time. Far from being a racist, Mr. Jolson did so much to bring "black" music to the attention of the theatre . He was involved in taking some of the early melodies and making them into hit songs, jazz. He was called the Jazz Singer for a reason.
The thumbnail image of a blackfaces all serves to remind the world that that Jewish celebrity may have helped legitimize the place of Afro-Americans into the mainstream of entertainment and American life in general. Especially relevant these days with anti-Jewish feelings in the air.

You said it, modern music is plagued with frauds and hacks who let someone else write lousy lyrics and use machines to do the job.
Such a good playlist
I really enjoy it ❤

Bless you
Thank you. I love it.
God gave Al a very special voice.
ALJOLSON GREAT SINGER
Irrespective of the morality of art, Al Jolson can sing really loudly and all singers should take note
I love his costume!
The worlds greatest entertainer more talent in his little finger than so called todays stars and hes dead 74yrs
Get him on Britain’s got talent and let Alesha Dixon give him the golden buzzer 😂😂
Let's keep social politics out of entertainment and art. Sometimes people identify with something they may not be.
They’re not putting anything in there, this is just an unavoidable fact about the singer
What fact is that?@@ghostshrimp5006
Doesn't look a bit like
Larry Parks !
y i k e s
i love his music but damn you could have used a better picture
hope my vision comes true of a bio picture in 2027
Jeez you couldn't have used a creepier photo of Al for the thumbnail? 💀💀💀
Justin Treadu going to give him a run for his money now
Did you really have to use a black face picture.?
Al Jolson is great, but why is this photo the thumbnail? Please change it, its not doing anyone any good.

@@roncohen2354 Good comment.
Maybe his singing was hits back then but will never catch on today.
Wrong, it's lovely
with the Immortal Jolson time is irrelevant!!
@@margaretthomas8899 absolutely right
He had class
