wish i would have been more computer literate while my mother was alive, she would have loooved this. iloved it too!,,, but maybe now she's hearing it live,,,,???? could somebody please pass the dean martin, or the mills brothers????
@ruthy102 Well no not exactly Jolson was a great minstrel Crosby was perhaps the first of the crooners, the guys who utilised the microphone and made crooning the modern art form that it became. Look down the line Sinatra,Como,Martin,Haymes,Britain's Al Bowlly all of them and more acknowledge the influence of Crosby. Later on down the line Elvis said himself that he was much influenced by Dean Martin. The ability to croon and sustain notes and make it sound easy thats crooning. Crooning = Bing.
Good Lord that's the stuff!

how come nobody has the version of this song with Connee Boswell? That one hit #1 in 1938.

I love Jolson's 'happy darkie' patter. The guy was a Jew born in Lithuania!

Jolson's voice was amazing. They all copied him.

It's amazingly obvious Crosby was influenced by Jolson - whom, however, he can't touch.
