Al Jolson and Eddie Cantor, you almost have to say their names together, so closely are they often identified, even being mistaken for each other on occasion. Thus, it is a great pleasure to bring this radio show to your attention, with Al Jolson guesting on Eddie Cantor's radio program, from March, 1947. Jolson's screen biography had awakened a new audience to the music and legend of The World's Greatest Entertainer, and Jolie's old friend Eddie was right there to help him assume center stage.

With 99 programs broadcast over almost 2½ years, there are precious few transcriptions of this largest body of Jolson broadcast work. Here is a little bit about Al Jolson's Cafe Trocadero, later The Al Jolson Program, and a look at some of the material the IAJS has added to the catalog.
