Jolsonmania! 1 : Kraft Music Hall 21/10/48 No Guest

36 minutes 4 seconds

The Jolsonmania! radio show/podcast is a celebration of the life and legacy of Al Jolson through classic radio shows and audio documentaries featuring the World's Greatest Entertainer.

In this first podcast I introduce myself and say a little about what you can expect on the show.

The main feature is the complete Kraft Music Hall of 21st October 1948. From 60 years ago this show which features just Al, Oscar Levant and Lou Bring and his orchestra is a good showcase for the incredible talent that was Al Jolson as we remember him in the week of the 58th anniversary of his passing.
