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!

Go Into Your Dance
starring Al Jolson and Ruby Keeler

On May 2, 1935, the only film with Mr. and Mrs. Al Jolson - Ruby Keeler and Al Jolson - premiered. This wonderful film can still hold its own with today's audiences, and is a great vehicle to introduce new viewers to the World's Greatest Entertainer. The Spring, 2013, edition of the Jolson Journal had an in-depth article about the movie, and here is a look at the trailer. A new restoration of the movie has been accomplished, and is available to members of the IAJS on both conventional DVD and high definition BluRay through the Video Department. Check it out and get your copy today.

Enjoy this trailer for Go Into Your Dance.
