My Greatest Songs (1991)

"Al Jolson (born Asa Yoelson; May 26, 1886 – October 23, 1950) was a Lithuanian-American Jewish singer, comedian, actor, and vaudevillian. He was one of the United States' most famous and highest-paid stars of the 1920s,[2] and was self-billed as "The World's Greatest Entertainer."[3] Jolson was known for his "shamelessly sentimental, melodramatic approach"[4] towards performing, as well as for popularizing many of the songs he sang.[5] Jolson has been referred to by modern critics as "the king of blackface performers."
