The 2nd. television (edited) documentary of 'The World's Greatest Entertainer' was originally aired on Britain's South Bank Show on the centennial year of Jolson's birth. (1886~ although it has now been determined it was 1885). Fine footage, clips and comments by Irving Caesar, Michael Freedland, Evelyn Keyes and more. However, the film does seem to infuse some polemical notations regarding his use of black-face and his Jewishness. Still entertaining and highly informative.

Al Jolson, born Asa Yoelson on May 26, 1986, and his family left Russia when he was a child. The son of a cantor, he first sang in a synagogue. His first show business job was with a circus, which he ran away from home to join; in 1906 he became a black-faced cafe and vaudeville entertainer. After he began working on the New York stage in 1909, he rose to stardom, and was considered by many to be the greatest entertaining talent of his time. In 1923 he was signed by D.W. Griffith to appear in Mammy's Boy, but the film was never made. Three years later he sang three songs in an experimental sound short, April Showers (1926). The following year Jolson became immortal when he starred in The Jazz Singer, the world's first talkie (though most of the sound was background music), in which he spoke several sentences including the famous line "You ain't heard nothin' yet." He next appeared in the part-talkie The Singing Fool (1928), which grossed more money than any film until Gone with the Wind (1939). Through the mid-'30s he starred in a number of formula musicals, but changing public tastes led to a gradual decline in his popularity. After Jolson received some attention for singing for troops in World War II, his life was the subject of the film The Jolson Story (1946), in which he dubbed the songs for star Larry Parks. The film was a great box office success, resulting in a sequel, Jolson Sings Again (1949). From 1928-39 he was married to actress Ruby Keeler, with whom he appeared in Go Into Your Dance (1935). He went on to entertain troops in Korea, shortly after which he died of a heart attack. ~ All Movie Guide

Viewers not familiar with Al Jolson might be wondering who Rudy Wissler was not to mention Scotty Beckett; both seen here in excerpts from the beginning of the award winning musical biography of Al Jolson's life, "The Jolson Story".
Actually, Wissler was the 'uncredited' tenor voice singing the songs that actor Scotty Beckett mouthed the words to in the film, while portraying Jolson as a kid rising up in the world of show business. We also get a good glimpse of Jolson's sidekick, manager and adviser Steve Martin (played by William Demarest) in the film. Jolson devotees have always enjoyed the wonderful singing that Mr. Wissler did for the film although he in no way had a monumental career outside of this movie. Scotty Beckett, on the other hand, will be remembered for his roles in "The Little Rascals" short subjects and his excellent portrayal here as the young Jolson.
The Jolson Story was nominated for 4 Academy Awards in 1946, winning 2 (Best Music Scoring of a Musical Picture and Best Sound, Recording ) as well as a nomination for Larry Parks as best actor. The Jolson Story is still considered by many as the best musical biography ever made.
PS. The whistling was, of course, dubbed by Jolson himself.

Although the first musical number that 'Jolie' fully sings in "The Jolson Story" is "Ma Blushin Rosie", Jolson never recorded it in the early teens, though he most likely sang it in vaudeville. He actually recorded the number for the film with at least 6 or 7 takes and outtakes. Why? Presumably, as it is a transition scene from him as a teenager with a high tenor voice to the Jolson voice we know in his later years, it had to be a smooth (literally) transaction to his young years in the film.
If you ever hear the outtakes (which are available) as well as his Decca recording of the song in 1947, we hear a strong, robust 'Jolson' style. The eventual recording here has him singing the high notes of the chorus with a softer and easier flowing style, thereby giving us a glimpse of him starting out in the film as a young aspiring singer. The version here was spliced together taking the best of the many takes he did for the film.
Why, you might ask, does he start with the VERSE instead of the chorus?(as the music was originally written) Again my assumption is that 'Jolie' always had his inimitable "run" out on the stage to make his entrance and this clearly would have not "looked' or flowed right if he is making the running entrance and then going into his special 'walk' as the chorus begins. As such, he (Larry Parks, of course) enters, adjusts his tie and goes into the verse, then for film story flow, forgets the words, ad libs and adjusts, and then goes into the chorus with wonderful grace and balance. Larry Parks did an incredible job miming, mouthing the words and bringing Al Jolson to life on the screen. So much so that it literally 'typecast' the actor whereas it was almost impossible not to bring the Jolson style to the few other parts that he played in after this film.
This is my PERSONAL analysis of this first and quite entertaining number in "The Jolson Story"

Al Jolson (May 26, 1886 – October 23, 1950) was an American singer, comedian, and actor. In his heyday, he was dubbed "The World's Greatest Entertainer".
His performing style was brash and extroverted, and he popularized a large number of songs that benefited from his "shamelessly sentimental, melodramatic approach". Numerous well-known singers were influenced by his music, including Bing CrosbyJudy Garland, rock and country entertainer Jerry Lee Lewis, and Bob Dylan, who once referred to him as "somebody whose life I can feel". Broadway critic Gilbert Seldes compared him to "the Greek God Pan", claiming that Jolson represented "the concentration of our national health and gaiety."
In the 1930s, he was America's most famous and highest paid entertainer. Between 1911 and 1928, Jolson had nine sell-out Winter Garden shows in a row, more than 80 hit records, and 16 national and international tours. Although he's best remembered today as the star in the first (full length) talking movie, The Jazz Singer in 1927, he later starred in a series of successful musical films throughout the 1930s. After a period of inactivity, his stardom returned with the 1946 Oscar-winning biographical film, The Jolson Story. Larry Parks played Jolson with the songs dubbed in with Jolson’s real voice. A sequel, Jolson Sings Again, was released in 1949, and was nominated for three Oscars. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Jolson became the first star to entertain troops overseas during World War II, and again in 1950 became the first star to perform for G.I.s in Korea, doing 42 shows in 16 days. He died just weeks after returning to the U.S., partly due to the physical exertion of performing. Defense Secretary George Marshall afterward awarded the Medal of Merit to Jolson's family.

Al Jolson - Swanee (Rhapsody in Blue 1945)
Al Jolson, born Asa Yoelson on May 26, 1986, and his family left Russia when he was a child. The son of a cantor, he first sang in a synagogue. His first show business job was with a circus, which he ran away from home to join; in 1906 he became a black-faced cafe and vaudeville entertainer. After he began working on the New York stage in 1909, he rose to stardom, and was considered by many to be the greatest entertaining talent of his time. In 1923 he was signed by D.W. Griffith to appear in Mammy's Boy, but the film was never made. Three years later he sang three songs in an experimental sound short, April Showers (1926). The following year Jolson became immortal when he starred in The Jazz Singer, the world's first talkie (though most of the sound was background music), in which he spok... -
Funeral Of Al Jolson (1950)
The final curtain falls for Al Jolson. Here's some footage of his greatest times and the funeral. The comedian died in 1950. Unissued / unused footage - dates and locations may be unclear / unknown. American newsreel titles read: 'AL JOLSON - FINAL CURTAIN'. In Hollywood, California, United States of America, we see huge crowds of people outside synagogue for funeral of film star / singer / entertainer Al Jolson. High angle shot of the coffin being carried out of the synagogue. Cut to several shots of Jolson on his recent trip to entertain troops in Korea. He runs out into a hospital (?) garden or courtyard, talks into microphone and sings for those gathered with piano accompaniment (mute).

RUDY WISSLER and SCOTTY BECKETT ~ "THE JOLSON STORY" 1946
Viewers not familiar with Al Jolson might be wondering who Rudy Wissler was not to mention Scotty Beckett; both seen here in excerpts from the beginning of the award winning musical biography of Al Jolson's life, "The Jolson Story". Actually, Wissler was the 'uncredited' tenor voice singing the songs that actor Scotty Beckett mouthed the words to in the film, while portraying Jolson as a kid rising up in the world of show business. We also get a good glimpse of Jolson's sidekick, manager and adviser Steve Martin (played by William Demarest) in the film. Jolson devotees have always enjoyed the wonderful singing that Mr. Wissler did for the film although he in no way had a monumental career outside of this movie. Scotty Beckett, on the other hand, will be remembered for his roles in "The Li... -
"THE JOLSON STORY" AL JOLSON and LARRY PARKS HD all the way 1946
Although the first musical number that 'Jolie' fully sings in "The Jolson Story" is "Ma Blushin Rosie", Jolson never recorded it in the early teens, though he most likely sang it in vaudeville. He actually recorded the number for the film with at least 6 or 7 takes and outtakes. Why? Presumably, as it is a transition scene from him as a teenager with a high tenor voice to the Jolson voice we know in his later years, it had to be a smooth (literally) transaction to his young years in the film. If you ever hear the outtakes (which are available) as well as his Decca recording of the song in 1947, we hear a strong, robust 'Jolson' style. The eventual recording here has him singing the high notes of the chorus with a softer and easier flowing style, thereby giving us a glimpse of him start... -

The following year Jolson became immortal when he starred in The Jazz Singer, the world's first talkie (though most of the sound was background music), in which he spoke several sentences including the famous line "You ain't heard nothin' yet." He next appeared in the part-talkie The Singing Fool (1928), which grossed more money than any film until Gone with the Wind (1939). Through the mid-'30s he starred in a number of formula musicals, but changing public tastes led to a gradual decline in his popularity. After Jolson received some attention for singing for troops in World War II, his life was the subject of the film The Jolson Story (1946), in which he dubbed the songs for star Larry Parks. The film was a great box office success, resulting in a sequel, Jolson Sings Again (1949). From 1928-39 he was married to actress Ruby Keeler, with whom he appeared in Go Into Your Dance (1935). He went on to entertain troops in Korea, shortly after which he died of a heart attack. ~ All Movie Guide

Al Jolson, born Asa Yoelson on May 26, 1986, and his family left Russia when he was a child. The son of a cantor, he first sang in a synagogue. His first show business job was with a circus, which he ran away from home to join; in 1906 he became a black-faced cafe and vaudeville entertainer. After he began working on the New York stage in 1909, he rose to stardom, and was considered by many to be the greatest entertaining talent of his time. In 1923 he was signed by D.W. Griffith to appear in Mammy's Boy, but the film was never made. Three years later he sang three songs in an experimental sound short, April Showers (1926). The following year Jolson became immortal when he starred in The Jazz Singer, the world's first talkie (though most of the sound was background music), in which he spoke several sentences including the famous line "You ain't heard nothin' yet." He next appeared in the part-talkie The Singing Fool (1928), which grossed more money than any film until Gone with the Wind (1939). Through the mid-'30s he starred in a number of formula musicals, but changing public tastes led to a gradual decline in his popularity. After Jolson received some attention for singing for troops in World War II, his life was the subject of the film The Jolson Story (1946), in which he dubbed the songs for star Larry Parks. The film was a great box office success, resulting in a sequel, Jolson Sings Again (1949). From 1928-39 he was married to actress Ruby Keeler, with whom he appeared in Go Into Your Dance (1935). He went on to entertain troops in Korea, shortly after which he died of a heart attack. ~ All Movie Guide

Viewers not familiar with Al Jolson might be wondering who Rudy Wissler was not to mention Scotty Beckett; both seen here in excerpts from the beginning of the award winning musical biography of Al Jolson's life, "The Jolson Story".
Actually, Wissler was the 'uncredited' tenor voice singing the songs that actor Scotty Beckett mouthed the words to in the film, while portraying Jolson as a kid rising up in the world of show business. We also get a good glimpse of Jolson's sidekick, manager and adviser Steve Martin (played by William Demarest) in the film. Jolson devotees have always enjoyed the wonderful singing that Mr. Wissler did for the film although he in no way had a monumental career outside of this movie. Scotty Beckett, on the other hand, will be remembered for his roles in "The Little Rascals" short subjects and his excellent portrayal here as the young Jolson.
The Jolson Story was nominated for 4 Academy Awards in 1946, winning 2 (Best Music Scoring of a Musical Picture and Best Sound, Recording ) as well as a nomination for Larry Parks as best actor. The Jolson Story is still considered by many as the best musical biography ever made.
PS. The whistling was, of course, dubbed by Jolson himself.

Although the first musical number that 'Jolie' fully sings in "The Jolson Story" is "Ma Blushin Rosie", Jolson never recorded it in the early teens, though he most likely sang it in vaudeville. He actually recorded the number for the film with at least 6 or 7 takes and outtakes. Why? Presumably, as it is a transition scene from him as a teenager with a high tenor voice to the Jolson voice we know in his later years, it had to be a smooth (literally) transaction to his young years in the film.
If you ever hear the outtakes (which are available) as well as his Decca recording of the song in 1947, we hear a strong, robust 'Jolson' style. The eventual recording here has him singing the high notes of the chorus with a softer and easier flowing style, thereby giving us a glimpse of him starting out in the film as a young aspiring singer. The version here was spliced together taking the best of the many takes he did for the film.
Why, you might ask, does he start with the VERSE instead of the chorus?(as the music was originally written) Again my assumption is that 'Jolie' always had his inimitable "run" out on the stage to make his entrance and this clearly would have not "looked' or flowed right if he is making the running entrance and then going into his special 'walk' as the chorus begins. As such, he (Larry Parks, of course) enters, adjusts his tie and goes into the verse, then for film story flow, forgets the words, ad libs and adjusts, and then goes into the chorus with wonderful grace and balance. Larry Parks did an incredible job miming, mouthing the words and bringing Al Jolson to life on the screen. So much so that it literally 'typecast' the actor whereas it was almost impossible not to bring the Jolson style to the few other parts that he played in after this film.
This is my PERSONAL analysis of this first and quite entertaining number in "The Jolson Story"

SWANEE
(George Gershwin/Irving Caesar)
Lyrics:
I've been away from you along time
I never thought I'd miss 'ya so
Somehow I feel, your love is real
Near you I wanna be.
The Birds are singing it is songtime
The banjos strumming soft and low
I know that you yearn for me to swanee you're calling me
Chorus
Swanee - how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old swanee.
I'd give the world to be among the folks in D-I-X-I-E-ven though my mammy's waiting for me,
praying for me down by the swanne.
The folks up north will see me no more when I get to that swanee shore
I love the old folks at home
Swanee - how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old swanee. I'd give the world to be among the
folks in D-I-X-I-E-ven though my mammy's waiting for
me, praying for me down by the swanee.
The folks up north will see me no more when I get to that swanee shore.
Al Jolson (May 26, 1886 October 23, 1950) was an American singer, comedian, and actor. According to PBS, he is considered the "first openly Jewish man to become an entertainment star in America". His career lasted from 1911 until his death in 1950, during which time he was commonly dubbed "the world's greatest entertainer.
His performing style was brash and extroverted, and he popularized a large number of songs that benefited from his "shamelessly sentimental, melodramatic approach". Numerous well-known singers were influenced by his music, including Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, and Bob Dylan, who once referred to him as "somebody whose life I can feel".
In the 1930s he was America's most famous and highest paid entertainer. Between 1911 and 1928, Jolson had nine sell-out Winter Garden shows in a row, more than 80 hit records, and 16 national and international tours. Yet he's best remembered today for his leading role in the first (full length) talking movie ever made, The Jazz Singer, released in 1927. He starred in a series of successful musical films throughout the 1930s. After a period of inactivity, his stardom returned with the 1946 Oscar-winning biographical film, The Jolson Story. Larry Parks played Jolson with the songs dubbed in with Jolsons real voice. A sequel, Jolson Sings Again, was released in 1949, and was nominated for three Oscars. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Jolson became the first star to entertain troops overseas during World War II, and again in 1950 became the first star to perform for GIs in Korea, doing 42 shows in 16 days.
According to the St. James Encyclopedia of Popular Culture, "Jolson was to jazz, blues, and ragtime what Elvis Presley was to rock 'n' roll". Being the first popular singer to make a spectacular "event" out of singing a song, he became a rock star before the dawn of rock music. His specialty was building stage runways extending out into the audience. He would run up and down the runway and across the stage, "teasing, cajoling, and thrilling the audience", often stopping to sing to individual members, all the while the "perspiration would be pouring from his face, and the entire audience would get caught up in the ecstasy of his performance".
He enjoyed performing in blackface makeup a theatrical convention in the early 20th century. With his unique and dynamic style of singing black music, like jazz and blues, he was later credited with single-handedly introducing African-American music to white audiences. As early as 1911 he became known for fighting against anti-black discrimination on Broadway. Jolson's well-known theatrics and his promotion of equality on Broadway helped pave the way for many black performers, playwrights, and songwriters, including Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, and Ethel Waters.

SWANEE
(George Gershwin/Irving Caesar)
Lyrics:
I've been away from you along time
I never thought I'd miss 'ya so
Somehow I feel, your love is real
Near you I wanna be.
The Birds are singing it is songtime
The banjos strumming soft and low
I know that you yearn for me to swanee you're calling me
Chorus
Swanee - how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old swanee.
I'd give the world to be among the folks in D-I-X-I-E-ven though my mammy's waiting for me,
praying for me down by the swanne.
The folks up north will see me no more when I get to that swanee shore
I love the old folks at home
Swanee - how I love ya, how I love ya
My dear old swanee. I'd give the world to be among the
folks in D-I-X-I-E-ven though my mammy's waiting for
me, praying for me down by the swanee.
The folks up north will see me no more when I get to that swanee shore.
Al Jolson (May 26, 1886 October 23, 1950) was an American singer, comedian, and actor. According to PBS, he is considered the "first openly Jewish man to become an entertainment star in America". His career lasted from 1911 until his death in 1950, during which time he was commonly dubbed "the world's greatest entertainer.
His performing style was brash and extroverted, and he popularized a large number of songs that benefited from his "shamelessly sentimental, melodramatic approach". Numerous well-known singers were influenced by his music, including Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, and Bob Dylan, who once referred to him as "somebody whose life I can feel".
In the 1930s he was America's most famous and highest paid entertainer. Between 1911 and 1928, Jolson had nine sell-out Winter Garden shows in a row, more than 80 hit records, and 16 national and international tours. Yet he's best remembered today for his leading role in the first (full length) talking movie ever made, The Jazz Singer, released in 1927. He starred in a series of successful musical films throughout the 1930s. After a period of inactivity, his stardom returned with the 1946 Oscar-winning biographical film, The Jolson Story. Larry Parks played Jolson with the songs dubbed in with Jolsons real voice. A sequel, Jolson Sings Again, was released in 1949, and was nominated for three Oscars. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Jolson became the first star to entertain troops overseas during World War II, and again in 1950 became the first star to perform for GIs in Korea, doing 42 shows in 16 days.
According to the St. James Encyclopedia of Popular Culture, "Jolson was to jazz, blues, and ragtime what Elvis Presley was to rock 'n' roll".

Award-winning author Michael Alexander explored Jewish identity for Al Jolson, Felix Frankfurter and Arnold Rothstein in a talk titled "Mammy, Don't Ya Know Me?" at the USC Casden Institute for the Study of the Jewish Role in American Life on January 30, 2008. By the 1920s, Jews were -- by all economic, political and cultural measures of the day -- making it in America. Yet many deliberately identified with groups that remained marginalized. Alexander, author of the National Jewish Book Award-winning "Jazz Age Jews" (2003), tells the stories of Al Jolson, Felix Frankfurter and Arnold Rothstein. The gangster accused of fixing the 1919 World Series (Rothstein); the defending lawyer for the infamous Sacco and Vanzetti murder trial, who went on to become a Supreme Court justice (Frankfurter); and the star of the first talkie (Jolson) all became heroes to the American Jewish community for their association with events that galvanized the country and defined the Jazz Age. Alexander's book pulls together from the threads of their lives a theological explanation of 1920s Jews, who thought of themselves as outsiders no matter how successful they became. Michael Alexander is the Murray Friedman Professor of History and director of the Myer and Rosaline Feinstein Center for American Jewish History at Temple University. Established in memory of USC alumnus Burton Lewis, the Burton Lewis Lecture Series focuses on the Jewish role in arts and culture -- a topic of great interest and close to the heart of the late Mr. Lewis and his family.

This webisode from the webseries "Joe Franklin Remembers" is about Joe Franklin remembering Al Jolson. Al Jolson (born Asa Yoelson; May 26, c. 1886 – October 23, 1950) was an American singer, film actor, and comedian. At the peak of his career, he was dubbed "The World's Greatest Entertainer".
His performing style was brash and extroverted, and he popularized a large number of songs that benefited from his "shamelessly sentimental, melodramatic approach". Numerous well-known singers were influenced by his music, including Bing Crosby, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart and others; Dylan once referred to him as "somebody whose life I can feel". Broadway critic Gilbert Seldes compared him to the Greek god Pan, claiming that Jolson represented "the concentration of our national health and gaiety."
In the 1930s he was America's most famous and highest-paid entertainer. Between 1911 and 1928, Jolson had nine sell-out Winter Garden shows in a row, more than 80 hit records, and 16 national and international tours. Although he is best remembered today as the star of the first 'talking picture', The Jazz Singer (1927), he later starred in a series of successful musical films throughout the 1930s. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, he was the first star to entertain troops overseas during World War II. After a period of inactivity, his stardom returned with The Jolson Story (1946). Larry Parks played Jolson, with the singer dubbing for Parks. The formula was repeated in the sequel, Jolson Sings Again (1949). In 1950 he again became the first star to entertain GIs on active service in the Korean War, performing 42 shows in 16 days. He died just weeks after returning to the U.S., partly owing to the physical exertion of performing. Defense Secretary George Marshall afterward awarded the Medal of Merit to Jolson's family.
Joe Franklin is an American radio and television personality from New York City, Franklin is credited with hosting the first television talk show. The show began in 1951 on WJZ-TV and moved to WOR-TV from 1962 to 1993. Joe today can be found on Bloomberg Radio where he continues to interview stars. Joe has befriended, met and interviewed over 100,000 American stars. In the webseries "Joe Franklin Remembers" Joe tells us never before heard stories and facts about our favorite stars.

Bye Bye Blackbird
Pack up all my cares and woe,
Here I go singing low:
Bye bye, blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she.
Bye bye, blackbird.
No-one here can love or understand me.
Oh, those hard-luck stories they all hand me.
Make my bed and light the light,
I'll arrive late tonight.
