  • I know nobody cares, but I'm 13 and I love this.

  • @NeyoProductions

    I care! Thank YOU!!

  • This brings back memories of my dad playing Jolson records in the living room. My dad's cousin was Lou Bring, (I think that's how his name was spelled),. He was Jolson's orchestra leader for a time.

  • @RedOakRockets

    Thanks for sharing! ... Lou Bring was indeed the leader man for Jolson in his two season stint on the Kraft Music Hall radio show (late '40's) ... Jolson only wanted the best! ... To get the flavour of Lou's wonderful orchestra, listen to it via my video "Al Jolson sings Easter Parade - Tribute to Judy Garland" ... Taken from one of the half-hour Kraft Music Hall radio shows, which featured Al Jolson, Oscar Levant and the Lou Bring Orchestra.

  • Watching this video, I'm crying my eyes out. It wasn't too long ago when both my boys were three. What a magical time : )

  • Magical time indeed, our eldest of four is now aged 52, the youngest 42 ... yet it doesn't seem that long ago when they took their first steps!

  • R.I.P. DAVEY ,Thanks for the memories

  • Loved this song since I was a kid 80 years ago. But then the angels took my little girl when she was 10. Real tears ever since.

  • A lovely tribute and fantastic song. Thanks

  • This is such Bliss...It reminds me of my Dad who was born in 1915 and Jolson was his favorite singer and performer. The dedication to family and love ones in the songs of this era give credence to the soul of man which today unfortunatly is almost forgoten.

  • What a wonderful tribute. I remember driving in the car with my father, who died when I was 12, and his singing this song. I cried then, and I'm teary now.

  • my favorite of all jolson song
