Al Jolson : Command Performance

Although there is a great variety of Jolson material on this site, occasionally a favorite or meaningful song is not here, and one of the visitors to the site has requested it be posted. I'll try to post unique or requested audio or video clips of Al Jolson, based on your requests, time of year, or other criteria. While the commercially released recordings will not be included on this page, they will all be on the Monthly Recording Page within the course of a year, just about anything else is fair game. Use the convenient link below to request your favorites!

In honor of Mother's Day, and mothers throughout the world,
here are two special treats.
Listen to this live recording of "Remember Mother's Day"
from a broadcast with Jack Benny on April 2, 1950.

And if you're short on time, check out this one minute
clip of the song from the May 5, 1949, Kraft Music Hall.

Please send your requests for this page to me by Email to webmaster@jolson.org - be sure to put COMMAND PERFORMANCE in the Subject line of your Email!

COMMAND PERFORMANCE SONG SELECTION INFORMATION Songs for the Command Performance are selected by your votes. As a rule, the commercial recordings on the Victor, Columbia, Brunswick, and Decca label are not included on this page, as within a year, all will be featured on the Monthly Song Lists. A song may not be repeated on this list within 9 months of its being played, except for extenuating circumstances. Requests for songs go into a queue and, ordinarily, are used in the order received. However, the ultimate order and selection of songs played and whether a song is included or not is at the discretion of the webmaster.
