in response to reader comment: Jolson brought magic to the popular song

Submitted by Tom Speaks, Feb 7, 2008 19:12

"You got it son", I've been a Jolson fan since I was eight yrs. old. I'm now 67 and Jolson's voice still
perks up my soul. Nobody and I mean Nobody has the ability to do what Jolson did and is still
doing in the minds and hearts of those of us who knew true showmanship. Until the current
generation of so called "Hollywood" hears and understands the truth, Jolson will not get his dues.

Sincerely, Tom Speaks
