Reply to Joeyjojo. If you are a Jolson fan, you have no Tribute's for Jolson or any other Jazz singers of the era on your account. (To me) Al Jolson and Larry Parks are really no different from one another.
Larry Parks did a great job as Jolson in the 2 movies. I loved these movies when I was a kid and never thought about them being politically incorrect. I guess they can't be show on TV anymore which is a shame. They were not a very accurate potrayal of Jolson's life. He could be a very difficult man from what I understand but he sure could sing. Rest well Al and Larry and thank you for the pleasure you brought to many over the years. And thank you for posting.
Sorry, as a Jolson fan I found this really annoying. Wanna do a tribute to Jolson don't give it the MTV edit style. UGH. Give us a whole song with appropriate images.
For goodness sake. The pictures of Larry Parks is because he played Al Jolson in the movie. The Jolson Story. Of course with the voice of Al Jolson. If you saw the movie you wold understand.
I guess the Psycho was puffin' the funny stuff again and didn't recognize Jolson in the pictures as well as Parks. It's always great to hear Al's voice anywhere and anytime. Thanks!

I thought it was decent.

Putting Larry Parks in a comp with the REAL JOLSON is as stupid as putting an Elvis imitator in a reel about the king.

That's freaking Larry Parks, an actor--not Jolson, for God's sake.

A wonderful sampler of the magnificent Jolson voice and stage presence
