Thanks, and it shows the talent of these two men, for sure! Please do subscribe to this channel, if you've not already, and pop by the IAJS website at www.jolson.org for more great material.
@@MarcLeavey Talent indeed. I’ve been aware of Jolson since 15 years old (only 16 now!) and find his music so excellent. Then, just this morning, discovered George on the Judy Garland Show - why, he’s good too. I’ll be sure to visit the website; I find it so very heartening that you celebrate this brilliant performer still.
@@teddycuthbert Well welcome to the gang! There are a lot of us who continue to preserve the legacy of Al Jolson, and I hope you enjoy the over 130 other Video Podcasts here on RUclips and the website. Would encourage you to check out membership options as well. Enjoy!
Since it is in the news: I'm not sure entertainers putting on Blackface was intended as sinister or malicious. People are reading the sinister and malicious into Blackface that was simply NOT intended.
Absolutely, Steven. We have a lot of material about that on the website, www.jolson.org, as well as the Facebook Page of the International Al Jolson Society. Appreciate the thought.
What fun! Between Al Jolson, George Jessel, and Oscar Levant they provided great entertainment.
Love their song at 7:45!
