To many people forget what "real" music Is all about. Im 35 and was brought up on Jolson and various others from the old days when music had feeling and meaning. Love this song and many others.. Thanks for sharing ;-)
I'm from Buenos Aires. When I was a child, some 50 years ago, I used to listen to Al's records because my uncle was a great fan of him. I really don't rebember how many times I saw both Larry Parks's films. For me he was my chilhood idol. It was hard to me to understand that such a guy, with all that streght of comunication, could be dead.
I had this record on victor records I believe it was personality series I just can't remember what was on the other side... ok now I remember Alexander's Ragtime band Al and Bing had a duet on that song as well maybe it was Decca it was so long ago.
You may like to know there is a slight difference between this recording and the one you had. This is a rare out-take. It was rejected for release from the same recording session. The released track had them singing "Twee tee twee tee twee twee tweetie" (or something like that) at the end. As opposed to the "Ah ah ah" etc. they do here.
I can confirm with certainty that both sides of the 78 are included on a CD available from the International Al Jolson Society (IAJS) and, I would guess, on Jolson CD compilations, via other sources/outlets.
Don't anyone out there ever lose this recording. Two icons collaborating in the most classic fun song of all time. ( I think) Guard it with your life!
I actually found this 78 RPM record (40038 A) in a cache I bought today. This was the B side. The A side was Alexander's Ragtime Band. Its an incredible record.
ripped off from english comedian billy merson......typical yanks....watch the original for the perfect version..

My father had the 78 rpm that you mention. Now, of course, the question is, is that version still available in any format?
cheers,
