Synopsis

What a life it was, and what a career...I wouldnt have dreamed that I could get lost in the pages of a bio-discography, but thats exactly what happened when I started to thumb this volume.

—from the foreword by Leonard Maltin

Who could forget Rock-a-bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody or The Jazz Singer? Al Jolson (1886-1950) was billed as The Worlds Greatest Entertainer and to this day is still considered the standard by which entertainers goals are measured. He achieved the top spot in virtually every medium in which he performed: stage, film, records, and radio. This is a comprehensive study of Jolsons career and touring data, providing extensive information on each of the performances. Bibliography and indexes.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Larry F. Kiner has been doing research and compiling discographies since the early 1940s, with special emphasis on the personalities of the pre-1950 era and some of the non-jazz orchestras. Among his books are discographies on Harry Lauder and Nelson Eddy (Scarecrow).

Philip R. Evans is a renowned researcher, writer, and consultant on the music and musicians of the bygone era. Al Jolson is first in a trio series with Scarecrow Press. Following will be a bio-discography on Frank Trumbauer (co-authored with Larry Kiner) and a bio-discography on Red Nichols (co-authored with Stan & Steve Hester).
