  • Thank you......One is going for another swoon again......

    5*****.

    Jennie.

  • Billy Rose and Dave Dreyer originally wrote the song as "Nobody's Fault But Mine". Once Jolson heard it, he insisted their lyrics be rewriiten (and cutting himself in on a "piece" of the song, as "co-composer"), guaranteeing a hit as soon as he introduced it....his intuition was as big as his ego!

  • Love this movie. Love this song. Al's one of my favourites

  • Love this song - found it by accident doing research on the Andrews Sisters and I had to learn it - check out my version!

    Thanks for posting this!

  • What did your grandad do with Jolson? I'd love more details. There aren't too many contemporaries around any more.

  • no they are just sitting reminicing and he is telling her how he used to dance with his wife and decide to have a go

  • That is and was a great artist and a great movie. I am watching it on my dvd as I am writing. Could someone help me ? In this movie, when Helen Clark and her future father in law are dining in a "swanky" restaurant they suddenly decide to go and dance. Does someone recognize the music that is playing in the background. I have been searching for weeks now and I can not remember . Thanks

  • My Grandad toured with Jolson for years. Said and wrote AJ was a great joker, and was ALWAYS singing but hated bad preparation, sacked instrumentalists in a blink, and hated Press interviews. Said he was the best "live" performer ever in terms of crowd electricity and charisma.

    Grandpa was also on the Lousiana hayride with pre-1956 RCA Elvis so....unique experience!

  • fantastic

  • I'm an old Jolson fan.I saw the pictures about him many,many times; later became the records,etc,etc. But I always think that the version of "Back in..." in Jolson sings again

    was the best, the rhythm, the tempo,the voice.

    Well, thank you FB1BB1BB1, you make mi so happy.Thanks again.
