    I saw him perform this role at the Birmingham Hippodrome about 30+ years ago, he was fantastic.

    He is very good , the voice is excellent. I absolutely love the Jolson films which I have seen umpteen times. Larry Parks as Jolson was brilliant.

    I'll be the first to admit that Brian Conley is no Jolson soundalike - if you want a pure Jolson soundalike then check out the likes of Clive Baldwin, or Norman Brook or even Ira Green - but as far as showmanship goes and putting the heart and soul into Jolson's life, this production including the acting, the music and even the set designs from 1995/1996, certainly took some beating.

    Do you have the Joe Pasquale segment from the same Royal Variety show in 95?

    @margaretthomas8899 Год назад +6

    Certainly does not sound like Al Jolson, but great show just the same!

      Brian was using his own rendition , which he got awards for may I add so he did something right! It was the winner of Best Musical in 1995!

    If you want to see a really good Jolson impressionist check out Clive Baldwin

  • @GaryRichards-cb1fc

    Jolson never had the lyrics to Let me Sing in the order you did. Your impression is not bad for people not truly familiar with Jolson. About 85 to 90% accurate. Jolson had a thoroughbred voice.

    No not even close! Jolson didn’t have a New Jersey accent. He’s Jolson only in his own mind.

    Brian Conley isn't any Al Jolson, stick with comedy routines.

    • @mica412
      @mica412 7 месяцев назад +3

      Nobody but Jolson IS Jolson but all the same he is a very good actor🙂

    • @ColtDee
      @ColtDee 7 месяцев назад +1

      Brian Conley is a gifted comical and straight actor and he can sing quite good, his Jolson act is very good as he emulates our hero Jolly and it pretty good, but he sounds like Brian Conerly which in itself is very entertaining, he got a great natural singing voice, Brian Conerly is a great entertainer and a credit to show business. @@mica412
