Apple Podcasts5theboywallaceUnited Kingdom16 years ago - An education in Jolson
Well produced radio clips of Al Jolson. These clips provide a sample of the singing talent, the comedic mind, and the entertaining passion of the great Jolie. I would play my Mom's Jolson records when I was young (1960s) because I liked his voice. I didn't appreciate his multiple talents until I listened to a number of these podcasts. Thanks for the education in Jolson. It's also great to hear him in converstaion with the stars of past.
