"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!"

"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!"
Essential Jolson!

"I am 28, and was recently introduced to Al Jolson by an elderly friend of mine, who told me that this was the real popular music when he was MY age.... I love it. I have a broad taste for music, And Al Jolson's talent leaves nothing to be desired. This man's vocal talent and his sheer LOVE of singing can be heard in every delicious note. If I could wish for one persons vocal skill, I would pray to sing like Al."

"This CD is terrific! Al Jolson was one of the best entertainers and singers ever. The great feeling he puts into all of his recordings cannot be matched by many. His version of Anniversary Song is unequaled."
