- Posted by the International Al Jolson Society, www.jolson.org, this is an excerpt of the 14 Sep 1935 Shell Chateau starring Al Jolson with guest star Fannie Brice. Al Jolson begins the segment with a medley of three songs: "Whispering," "My Melancholy Baby," and "Poor Butterfly." Jolson then introduces Fannie Brice, the original Funny Girl, singing her signature piece, "My Man." The segment concludes with Al Jolson singing a song introduced in his movie, "Mammy," although this time in dialect, "Yes, We Have No Bananas." Photos of Jolson and Brice, real and composite, let you imagine being in the audience. 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.

You are quite welcome. Please check out the other podcasts in the series, and the website of the International Al Jolson Society at www.Jolson.org
Al Jolson was a Truest professional talented singer for over 50 years a collective 1/2 of the 20 Century. Al 🪦
I could listen to Al Jolson's voice all day long... does something to me... fantastic!!
Casey, we all feel the same way. Stop over at the International Al Jolson Society, Inc., for much more of Jolson - enough for many days without stop - at www.jolson.org - and consider joining us!
@@MarcLeavey Thank you! Will hop over and look into it.... :)
God, I love that song by Fannie. She really makes you feel it.
Strange that she misses out the line "Oh my God, I love him so, he'll never know" which should be before "All my life is just despair" (compare other versions on RUclips). Was "Oh my God" not acceptable on the radio at the time?
Other versions of this recording have the words "my man" blanked out in the chorus, unless she indeed sang "my God." We'll never know, unless the original record surfaces. It's possible that Fannie sang My God live for the east coast listeners, but the words were deleted for west coast playback two hours later. NBC did that when Sinead O'Connor tore up a picture of the pope live on SNL years ago. I saw it happen live, but it was edited out when the show aired later in the west.
@@postscript67 So this poster edited the recording. I wish it would have been left blanked out as it appears that way in other Old Time Radio collections
Brilliant Singer Al None Like It TODAY FOR Sure Rip Al
Thanks for your comment, and we certainly agree. Please check out the other Video Podcasts in this series, and subscribe to the RUclips channel if you've not already. More of Jolson at the website : www.jolson.org
About 50 years ago I met a gentleman who said he was a cousin of Al Jolson, and it is certainly possible that it was true. His name was Joe Funis, and he was also Jewish as was Al of course.
Funis - usually a Sephardic name. But Jewish for sure. Maybe a cousin
Yes, we have no bananas .... lol... good one!!
When Al Jolson dies in 1950, Fanny Brice said;
“ I never liked the guy”
Yet, here we have Her appearing with Jolson on the Shell Chateau program in 1935. If you don’t like someone, why perform along with them.
All I can say is, "Hooray for Hollywood"! Many have said things about Jolson through the years contrary to their actions. Please do subscribe to this channel if you've not already, check out more material at the website, www.jolson.org, and consider joining the International Al Jolson Society for even more material and access to Jolson's legacy.
Because it's your job.
Hey Fannie if he's beating you get a restraining order.
Aaron, the relationship between Brice and Jolson was, to say the least, complicated! Hope you enjoyed this, and check out the other Jolson Video Podcasts online. Please subscribe to the channel if you've not yet, and the website at www.jolson.org has more material on Jolson and friends.
What a great voice Fanny Brice had- it rivals Streisand.
And Fanny was a lot funnier. BS thinks she can do comedy. Think again
Lol
