I am 54 years old (circa 2011) and this is not the usual music I come to YouTube for; but I wanted to see what all might be available on the Site. (The answer is _, ALL DAMNED KINDS OF STUFF.)
The reason that I checked-out this song is that part of my late father`s old posessions is a 1930`s era 78 RPM copy of Al Jolson singing this song -, but it`s not this version. On mine he says "get hot now !" to the band on the last chorus.I can`t play mine because I don`t have a turntable that plays 78`s.
This takes me back, Dad had a 78 pre-war recording of this, and I am right there listening with him on our old gramophone...cheesy, maybe, but nostalgia isn't what it was, is it ?
The king !....Even Crosby bowed to him,, and Crosby was huge during the last 15-20 years of Jolson's life..... thanks for the video!!!
