Irving Berlin's When I Lost You - In the style of Al Jolson - Pat Phillips

[GeoStrum3]

This is Al Jolson singing isn't it?

@GeoStrum3

Ha ha. Bless your heart! I wish to emphasize that mine is an impression of Jolie's style rather than an impersonation - There are a couple of really good Jolson impersonators/soundalikes on YouTube.

Such sweet lyrics even though the sadness of this man is so evident. In the utterly debauched and depraved society we presently live in, I can''t even imagine a song so moving able to be written.

If anyone has it, please share the Perry Como version of this lovely song!! The music with the saxophone in the background makes it one of the best recording I've ever heard of this song. Please be good enough to share it, would you? Thanks!!

@chibet62

Thanks! You certainly know how to cheer a feller up ... LOL.

But I know what you mean - Perry is also one of my all time favourites - and my own voice does tend to get me down a bit too. ... :D

@chibet62

And as Larry Parks as Al Jolson said to Flo Ziegfeld in 'The Jolson Story' ... "Mr Ziegfeld, you will please not advertize on my time!" ... :D

¡Hermosa versión!

Muchas gracias.

Un saludo desde la Argentina.

Thanks for your rendition of this beautiful Irving Berlin song. I have heard it for years but never knew the story behind it. I also appreciate hearing the verses which are always omitted in newer versions.  I am touched by the emotions and feelings of the lyrics.

That was very lovely. You sang that well and put feeling into it. Thank you very much for sharing this. I replied to another site with this song with more info about his first wife from Buffalo, N.Y. I wish I had found this site first. Thank you again for bringing this back on YT. Tommy
