But, the bridge wasn't built until the late 30's was it......I always connect the song with the Golden Gate Bridge and the City of San Francisco and movie of l936 .....................
I can't see how any one can call the Jolson version boring, the 1927 version is a classic his voice is red hot, you can't compare the vocals of this one with it. It's one of Jolson's best in my humble version, unless you mean the half talked version in the film 'the Singing Fool.'
I agree! I've got a copy of the Jolson version on CD and I've played the grooves off of it! Jolson sings it like a hymn to California and the robust prospects of that part of the 20th Century in America.
I agree with D. This makes me want to hop a flight to SF at this very moment. My favorite bridge. Walked across it many years ago, got dizzy and almost turned back in mid-bridge, then realized that would be just as far as going all the way to Sausalito, from where I took the bus back.
I like the way the recording seems stereo..what a great bass sound!

You'll soon get back there and have another chance, or so I hope.

This bubbly tune, the enthusiastic singing, and these bright and gorgeous posters make me feel like being there right now.
