Al Jolson and Tommy Dorsey 23 Jul 1944 - video podcast

Posted by the International Al Jolson Society, www.jolson.org, this is an excerpt of the 23 Jul 1944 broadcast of Your All Time Hit Parade, starring Tommy Dorsey with guest star Al Jolson, and illustrated with images of the stars, real and composite, to get a feeling for the broadcast. Recovering from illness contracted while entertaining the troops in World War II, Al Jolson appeared on just this program during the summer of 1944. Singing two songs, one of which, "April Showers," is featured in this video podcast, he continued the work he started to maintain the morale of our fighting men and women. Harry von Zell is also featured on this broadcast. The complete broadcast, along with other Jolson radio shows, is available at the Official Al Jolson Website at www.jolson.org, from its posting in July through the end of August.
