Just so you know, Larry Parks is not lip syncing. This clip shows how it was done. Larry Parks is singing, and when they recorded the scene, they played the Jolson recording extra loudly over Larry's voice so that Larry is actually singing at exactly the same moment as Jolson's recording. That's why it looks so realistic - because Larry Parks is really singing.

@Phaedrax2 great shows and how good is Larry Parks???

Parks didn't have a bad singing voice, in my opinion. But Al is Al......

The voice of Al Jolson, the looks of Larry Parks, great songs, great orchestration - I think the film may do well........ ;-)
But serously, I never get tired of watching The Jolson Story & Jolson Sings Again, even though I have both films on DVD, if they are shown again on TV, I have to sit down and watch - my two most favourite films - EVER!
Thanks for the compilation - most interesting.

I always suspected that, of the two, Jolson had the better voice -LOL!
Seriously, this is wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing.

VERY interesting the way you have displayed how it was done. But, when people say "Larry Parks is truly singing", that's a little misleading, for it is Al Jolson's singing voice and obviously, albeit a fine actor Larry Parks was not a singer. Many times in musicals both then and present day, the actor is "singing" the words and the voice is added later, either their own voice or quite often a studio singer's voice, and in this case, of course, the great AL JOLSON.
