5.0 out of 5 stars 1945 - 1950 Decca Studio Masters on CD - Jolson's Best, July 26, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Let Me Sing & I'm Happy (Audio CD)
This 2 cd set contains 58 out of 71 Decca Studio masters from 1945 to 1950. At this time, Jolson's voice had its deepest and most soulful, resonant tone. The highlight is the set of eight Stephen Foster songs, Jolson's last recordings. It's hard to name another major singer whose voice and sound were at their peak at age 64. Jolson is amazing, and this set is a bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE WORLD'S GREATEST ENTERTAINER', January 11, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Let Me Sing & I'm Happy (Audio CD)
As the entry for Jolie said in Wikepedia, Bing Crosby, Rod Stewart, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Jackie Wilson, Judy Garland and Mick Jagger all referred to him as 'The World's Greatest Entertainer.' He could according to Charlie Chaplin, make an audience happy or sad because of his ability to project emotions in a way that compelled his audiences to respond in kind. On a CD or on a DVD, we can only imagine what Jolson in live performance must have been like. What this CD collection does is preserve his last recordings on Decca which can be argued to be his best in that they were the most technically advanced and his voice was richer than on some of the earliest recordings which are found on other collections I have. I'm tempted to conclude that everyone who collects recordings of great vocalists should own a copy of this collection because of Jolson's singular status as the first super star of show business and the epitome of what an entertainer is supposed to be. He's the Ur Entertainer.
