One of Jolson's last recordings, recorded July 13, 1950 for an album of Stephen Foster songs. This song has been recorded by hundreds of artists over the years, including Richard Crooks, James Melton, Roy Orbison and Bing Crosby.
al jolsen was the first american performer to do a uso show for american troops overseas both in ww2 and korea. a true american. his last performance after a grueling uso tour hastened his demise.
Jolson probably died (heart-attack) because he insisted on entertaining the troops in Korea. A pure performer; magical. I'd have loved to have seen him on Broadway.
