Allan Jones on the Colgate Comedy Hour Abbott and Costello

[EebB924]

I saw "Firefly" on tv back in the early 60's , i was 10 or 12 at the time, fell in love with him then. His son also is a talented singer. Would love to see more Allen Jones movies brought back. Miss the talent of years gone by.

Is this some kind of joke?

Allan jones is my favorite classical crossover tenor. In my opinion he was the sucessor to an essentially similar (earlier) artist John Mc Cormack . He is also the male conterpart to Alma Gluck( soprano) ( Efrem Zimbalist Jr's mother) Thes are my favorite 3 vocalists & I bow to none in my admiration for ALLAN JONES !!!

brilliant singer,lovely voice

[Refrescospepito]

I love this man's voice.

I discovered Allan Jones, like, I imagine, most of you, int "A night at the opera".

Unforunelly, there´s not many films of his in DVD.

I`d like to see The Firefly.

culture, something you apparently don't have.

When I first heard Mr.Allan Jones sing was in "A night At The Opera",starring the Marx brothers.A genius of a singer.Those were the days.Thank you for keeping His voice and presence alive.

I like your video clip and have rated it as awesome. Please check out my new clip of 1930's cigarette cards of Allan Jones, George Formby, Errol Flynn, Gracie Fields, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Gary Cooper, Fred Astaire, and Vivien Leigh.

Hew as great in A NIGHT AT THE OPERAA, the Marx BBros best film.

[poistu]

That happens alot. I don't know why noone likes to give someone what their due.

One of the under appreciated GREATS! He did not get the credits he deserved for his contributions in Hollywood. " A Pretty Girl, Is like A Melody" sung by him for Dennis Morgan. He was married to Irene Hervey and had a son named Jack Jones with her. He worked in the coal mines in his youth in Pennsylvania.

@jingles0 Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald were my ABSOLUTE favorites and when I heard Allan Jones was opposite her in "Firefly" I had a fit! WE went to see it anyway and when he opened his mouth and started to sing my heart Stopped! How I worshipped him. Oh, I still adored Nelson Eddy and always will.But, Allan was just my whole world. I was about 16 at the time. I am 88 now and Nelson Eddy, Jeanette MacDonald and Allan are still my all time favorites. What joy to look back upon.
