Did Doris Day play her in a movie?

Great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!! Thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done!

Much appreciated. Notice take 4. Do you have several original alternates recordings of Jolson, or any body? All I have is relayed ones on this that or the other media. If you have original Jolson alternates that's unique

There are sound films of Ruth Etting in which she sings, but they're all black-and-white. This marvelous AI creation gives us Ruth Etting in color, and is so life-like that it's hard to believe that this isn't actual color footage of her singing this show tune in her inimitable style.

Lyrics so cute. Love his little vocal embellishments. And this is recorded just after the war when he’s cheering everyone with his music.

Wonderful to have this complete broadcast! But odd that there are no vocal choruses. By the way, I believe the singer at the opening and closing is Theo Alban.

Sure it would be enjoyed on Al Jolson Facebook sites.

This singer spreads joy as soon as he sings !!!!!!!!!!!! It puts you in a good mood !!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Job/ A request - Some Beautiful Morning/ Columbia 1919.

This blue-label Columbia recording was listed in the Columbia catalogs as A2496, with Jolson singing "In Sweet September" backed with Frank Crumit singing "Early in the Morning (Down on the Farm)," recorded about two weeks prior to the Jolson recording. Although Frank Crumit was a popular radio singer, as a performer he could not be compared to the electrifying Jolson. Thanks to this AI creation, we can hear and "see" the star billed as "The World's Greatest Entertainer."

Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!!!

Joan Crawford became a close friend of Rosa Ponselle, who arranged for her to take voice lessons with Romano Romani, Ponselle's mentor, in Hollywood to improve her range. Ponselle did the same for Gloria Swanson, another close friend who sang.

Bella voce, notevole interpretazione di questa grande artista.

❤ :)

Release date: 22FEB1925. Gertrude Olmstead was 27. 🥰😍😘

Given that his birth name was Charles Joseph Parrott, it's interesting to see in the credits of one of his best films, "The Pip from Pittsburgh," that it was directed by his younger brother James Parrott.

A broad vision of both aspects of the profession. It’s beautiful and very constructive! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Such beauty!

Impressive !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you soooo much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The legendary Ukranian basso Alexander Kipnis on Jose Mardones: "He was a true basso profundo with one of the largest voices I have ever heard, and a most impressive range. He could vocalize to a B-flat in the tenor range. He was not an actor, but most of the roles he sang were not acting roles. He knew his limitations and unlike some who sang in the same clef [Pinza], Mardones stayed with what he did best, which was singing."

Is that 1935 ? Doesn't look that old a video

Gorgeous voice! Such a growl to it. So glad to be able to hear it!!!

"He had the greatest bass voice I ever heard," said Rosa Ponselle of Jose Mardones. "It was like the lowest pedal on the pipe organ of a great cathedral--a real basso profundo. He had everything vocally: a huge voice, excellent technique, and a top that could go way up into the high baritone range. On the night of my debut in the Met premiere of 'La forza del destino,' when we sang 'La vergine degli angeli' the applause went on and on and on. You should've heard Caruso, Mardones and me that night. You really missed something!"

Ponselle faulted her manager, William Thorner, for contracting with the Columbia Graphophone Company rather than the more prestigious Victor company, where she could have recorded the Tomb Scene with Caruso. When she did record it for Victor, Giovanni Martinelli was her Radames, Caruso having died three years earlier. She disliked the master recordings and refused to allow them to be released. When she and Martinelli recorded the Tomb Scene electrically on four ten-inch master discs in May 1926, she again refused to have them released because she felt that the volume between her voice and Martinelli's was imbalanced. The ever-persuasive Martinelli talked her into letting them be released, and the discs were lauded by every record reviewer of that era.

What a magnificent natural bass voice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A very nice discovery !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah !!!!!!!!!!! My great favorites !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much to make them "alive" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On November 22, 1907, tenor Alessandro Bonci made his Metropolitan Opera debut as the Duke of Mantua in "Rigoletto," a role he shared with the Met's star tenor Enrico Caruso. The major critics praised Bonci's singing but were divided in their assessments of his acting, as they were of soprano Marcella Sembrich, the Gilda in that performance, whose acting was dismissed as "wanton and despairing." The proverbial "star of the show" was Riccardo Stracciari, "the handsome baritone whose large, opulent, dusk-tinged voice and emotive phrasing made the final act especially memorable."

Thanks, especially for the Bonci re-animatiion. I have an acoustic Columbia disc with his autograph in the run-off.

Amazing, thanks.

Trying to give it a like! But won’t let me. Love how much of the quality of the voice we can hear. To think these singers were the teachers of many of our teachers.

Very nice Bob. 1st viewing was for enjoyment and now I'll do a re-run for educational purposes. Kevin

Thanks for posting this. Here's how this was described in a review of Dracula in the New York Daily News on February 13, 1931: "And, after 'most everything's all right again, when director Tod Browning calls curtain on this cheery (?) little piece, Edward Van Sloan who had portrayed Dr. Van Helsing, steps to the fore of the talkie screen and tells folks that they oughtn't to be afraid; that they oughtn't to go home and dream bad dreams because things like this sometimes do happen!."

Salvatore Baccaloni was in MGM’s 1958 film “Merry Andrew” with Danny Kaye.💕

Up there with the best 👌👌

Back in the day when they reminded us we were a republic.

Another fascinating presidential "video speech" from Bob Fells, whose brief Introductions make these "living speeches" all the more inviting. Yesterday, October 26, 2024, was the 103rd anniversary of Harding's speech in Birmingham, AL, in which he told a vast multiracial audience that he believed strongly in equal educational and occupational opportunities for Black Americans, whose exodus to Chicago and other northern cities, he argued, would negatively affect the South's economy. In Ohio, Harding's home state, and especially in Marion, his hometown, the speech revived a rumor that had plagued Harding when he entered politics: that he himself was partly Black. When biographer Francis Russell's 1968 biography of Harding, "The Shadow of Blooming Grove," was about to be published, the Harding family exerted enough pressure on the publisher to delete passages and entire pages in which the rumor of Harding's Black ancestry was discussed. In his own way, Francis Russell got even: all of the deletions were typeset as blank spaces throughout the book.

The most famous of the Taft family of national politicians (his son Robert A. Taft was Senate Majority Leader and a presidential candidate), radio and television magnates, and prominent attorneys, William Howard Taft was Theodore Roosevelt's closest friend. The two exchanged 400+ letters before they had a falling-out in 1912, when Roosevelt formed a third party after Taft won the Republican nomination. When by chance they happened to be staying at the same hotel resort during World War One, and Roosevelt heard that Taft was sitting alone in a dining room, he rushed to embrace him as Taft stood up and greeted him with open arms. They resumed their once close relationship and found the bond between them just as strong as it had been when they were two young men entering public life at the urging of their wealthy progressive fathers. As this recording confirms, Taft did not have Roosevelt's dynamic oratorical style, yet his speeches were models of clarity.

You can go back as far as Benjamin Harrison/Grover Cleveland, their voices were recorded

Sadly he didn’t outlive the demand for horror pictures, or anything else for that matter.

Hello! Could you tell me how you made this?
