5.0 out of 5 stars The best recordings of Jolson songs available, June 27, 1998

Saw the two movies, "The Jolson Story" and "Jolson Sings Again." Though I have the old LP I haven't found the CD version. So until they release it, this is the best collection of his songs. Other Jolson CDs aren't very good at all. You won't be disappointed with this!

If you can only afford one Jolson CD or are just starting to enjoy the World's Greatest Entertainer, this is the starting point. These are recordings Jolson made in the 1940's of his hits of the 10's, 20's and 30's, so they are in high fidelity. Great start!

Absolutly the best recordings of Al Jolson, proof of why he was held in such esteem in his lifetime. This is the one to get if you're curious about the man universally known as the world's greatest entertainer. Timeless!
