Al Jolson and Judy Garland on Kraft Music Hall 30 Sep 1948 - video podcast

Posted by the International Al Jolson Society, www.jolson.org, this is an excerpt of the 30 Sep 1948 Kraft Music Hall starring Al Jolson with guest star Judy Garland. This edited excerpt includes a great rendition of "When The Red, Red, Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along," a comedy segment with Al Jolson , Judy Garland, and Oscar Levant, and a duet with Al Jolson and Judy Garland in "Pretty Baby." Seeing Al Jolson and Judy Garland from the time of the broadcast enhances the presentation. The complete program, along with other Al Jolson radio shows, will be available on the Official Al Jolson Website at www.jolson.org, from its posting in September through the end of October.

So nice to hear Jolson and Judy together. Never knew they sang together!

[@williamclarke5658]

Two of the ultimate greats in (I think) their only musical colabiration.
The music part was short but boy was it fantastic to hear the vocal combination of Al & Judy. Brilliant !!!

I quite agree with you. While Judy appeared with Al in the 1939 Arrowhead Springs broadcast, here they sang together.

"There was Al Jolson. Then there was Judy Garland. Then they broke the mold."
Not sure whose quote

[@MarcLeavey]

Reviewing Judy Garland's Carnegie Hall concert, the Hollywood Reporter said: “There is Judy Garland. And there was Al Jolson. And then the mold is broken!” Hope you enjoy these Video Podcasts and subscribe to the channel, and check the website at www.jolson.org for more. Thanks.

[@nizman1000]

hey ...it's not a competition..they were both brilliant.. I love both ....from different eras but giants xx God bless(if there is one) the two of them..

[@MarcLeavey]

So true, great stars, the likes of which we just don't have today.

[@bjbinmke]

Somebody said that, beside Jolson himself, only Judy Garland could sing Al Jolson songs.

[@MarcLeavey]

Judy certainly picked up the mantle that Jolson left behind, and also died far too young.

Two of the greatest entertainers ever to grace the stage; Judy was a close second to Jolson but Jolie just had that extra magic! That said this a great show featuring the both of them and you really can’t compare them.

world's greatest entertainer is Judy, sorry Al.

[@richardnicoletti5605]

Excuse me, Terry. How many troops did Judy Garland entertain. Jolson did three wars. He had the greatest following of all.

[@terrygrant3467]

+Richard Nicoletti I don't know how many troops she entertained, I know she was on almost all radio shows dedicated to the military, plus she entertained hundred's of thousands of our men and women of our military, here and abroad. Jolie was a great entertainer, no argument. But, Judy had that something extra, she made you feel as though she was singing directly to you. She could make you laugh, cry, or just feel. She was funny, and told stories between songs. She could charm her audience's out of their minds. Judy loved her audience, and they knew it.Jolie was great, Judy was the greatest.
