Al Jolson----"About A Quarter To Nine" (REPOST) 

I,m glad that the video came back

Back in the 60s - 70s my dad used to go around the house singing Mammy to the tune of Swanee. That's how I got introduced to Al Jolson.

absolutely delightful. how can one be offended by this?

Jolson was incomparable. And the tune! By Harry Warren, the least famous of all the great songwriters. He, too, was great. Jolson's wife Ruby Keeler in one of her better dance performances. Unfortunately the blackface vignette is deeply cringey.

i have never understood what it is about Jolson's voice that is so contagious it just grabs you but why its one on its own

Love this video, especially the first half, b ut it's impossible not to recoil from the blackface. It was the times but chronological forgiveness only goes so far. My father loved Jolson.

Sensational voice, that's the way it was then 😊

Fantastic

Robert Wagner wrote in his autobiography that Barbara Stanwyck described Jolson as "a son of a bitch". But he was one hell of a showman.

Aqui desde Perú escuchando a Al Jolson, algun joven a parte de mi que le gusta estas canciones?
