Re: Al Jolson
The Jazz Singer is actually quite good, even though, as you probably know, it only features a few sound sequences. (It's mostly silent, using subtitles.) I hate to admit it, but I always "tear up" at the ending when he sings to his mother.phonogfp wrote: Mon May 26, 2025 9:17 am “On This Day in the History of Recorded Sound…”
