Al Jolson Podcast

Excerpt of the 16 Dec 1939 broadcast of the opening of the Arrowhead Springs Resort. In this clip, Al Jolson sings "California, Here I Come" in a unique arrangement, with a chorus, verse, and two choruses, followed by a bit of a comical routine. This is the only time Jolson recorded the song this way, and the audience reaction speaks to their approval. There is much more in the complete broadcast of this show, which circulates with other Jolson radio shows on the Official Al Jolson Website at www.jolson.org.
