The song was first performed by Billy Merson, who you can see singing it on YouTube. Jolson plagiarised the song, and Merson took him to court, losing the case on a technicality, which ruined him financially. It appears that Jolson made a rgular habit of this kind of behaviour.

Just how a party should be. It was luverly to watch. Good quiz question: who was the Spaniard?

I fell in love with this song hearing an old Al Jolson recording of it. Glad to see it still lives!

Oh My G! This was an incredible rendition of the song and I've seen many in pubs in Salford years ago!
