There are radio stars, there are film stars, and then there was Bogart. Could there have been a bigger name, and one whose presence on the Kraft Music Hall you might question more? Well, fear not, Jolson sang a bunch of great songs on this show, and Bogart, well, Bogey and Jolie made a unique team. Just pull up a chair, and enjoy this program from over a half century ago.

The Kraft Music HallIn many ways, the Kraft Music Hall represented the peak of the comeback of Al Jolson. Here is more information about the program, including a complete listing of guest stars, and the review from Variety of the opening program.

Al Jolson's Lifebuoy Program 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.
