Like the title says, "The Best Of Al Jolson"! He was & is one of the best all around singer/entertainer of the 20th century!!! This compilation is just fantastic, I love the back & forth diatribe between Al & Bing Crosby on "The Alexander Rag". January 16, 2007

Jolson was the first great mass-media popular singing superstar.
I grew up with his records and have had a special joy in listening to his music after many years once again intensely.
I try to understand what precisely was and is so 'great' about him as a singer.
It is the quality and tone of the voice. It is in the precise inflection and innuendo. The voice has great richness and mellifluousness. But it is also and perhaps above all in the tremendous energy and feeling there is in so many of the songs. 'Pep' is too small a word for it. The energy the vibrancy has a spirit of youth in it. 'California Here I come' 'Swanee' .Even when there is a 'sad song' like 'April Showers' it has a message of hope and an underlying feeling of joy. The nostalgic and as it were sentimental songs too all bear with them an underlying strong and positive joyous feeling.
This is the music for a young nation looking towards its future with hope.
I would only add. In comparing Jolson's version of 'Kol Nidre' to some of the greatest cantors his came out on top. He just had a tremendous power to transmit feeling through his incredible 'walk a million miles for one of her smiles' voice. May 12, 2006
