Georgie Price (1901-1964) started performing on the streets of New York at the age of five and mastered many arts including tap dancing, singing and imitations. As a youth he was discovered by Gus Edwards an organizer of successful vaudeville acts with special emphasis on promoting the talents of young people. In the 1920s Price performed in Shubert and Ziegfeld musical productions on Broadway and made several records for Victor. His stage act often included impersonations of Al Jolson, Harry Richman, George Jessel, Eddie Cantor and George Cohan. In 1929, Price starred in a Vitaphone comedy and musical short titled "Don't Get Nervous" which can be seen here: • Video

Oh gee! Georgie sure did a good job! Sounds a bit like a mix of Al Jolson & Irving Kaufman to me.

Am i right in thinking this is public domain now?

[@Tunz909]

Think songs prior to 1922 are public domain....amazing this tune was the A side and "California Here I Come" the B side when Jolson record this!!!

Here's the same tune and arrangement (in a different key) sung by the great Margot Bingham for Boardwalk Empire ! ruclips.net/video/Fyx2gIWqshc/видео.html
