Special “Season Premiere” Week
The recent ‘semi-hiatus’ posts were all-new, but this marks the full schedule’s return. To see previously in “Memory Monday”, CLICK HERE.
During the hiatus, I ran a series of Hollywood stars & their cars for the “From The Heart” segment 1 week. I have a bunch more of these type of photos to feature now in this theme & “Flashback Friday”. The next 2 weeks, however, 09/19/2016 & 09/26/2016, I have some special photos to feature, including a 30+ year-old photo from an event in TN.
Today’s entry is Al Jolson & his Mercedes.
Jolson, once dubbed “The World’s Greatest Entertainer”, was a singer, actor & comedian. He was brash & extroverted, but his music also influenced many well-known singers, such as Bing Crosby, David Bowie, Bob Dylan & Rod Stewart. His movie appearances include 1927’s ‘The Jazz Singer’, 1929’s ‘Say It With Songs’, 1936’s ‘The Singing Kid’ & 1945’s ‘Rhapsody In Blue’, among others. In the theater, he starred in 1912’s ‘The Whirl Of Society’, 1913’s ‘The Honeymoon Express’, 1918’s ‘Sinbad’ & 1940’s ‘Hold On To Your Hats’, among others. His tunes include 1911’s “That Haunting Melody” (debut hit), 1912’s “Ragging The Baby To Sleep” (sold over 1 million copies), 1913’s “You Made Me Love You”, 1914’s “Sister Susie’s Sewing Shirts For Soldiers”, 1918’s “I’m All Bound Round With The Mason Dixon Line”, 1918’s “Rock-A-Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody”, 1919’s “Tell That To The Marines”, 1919’s “Swanee”, 1921’s “April Showers”, 1924’s “California, Here I Come”, 1926’s “I’m Sitting On Top Of The World”, 1928’s “Back In Your Own Backyard”, 1928’s “Sonny Boy”, 1929’s “Liza”, 1946’s “Anniversary Song”, 1947’s “Alexander’s Ragtime Band”, 1947’s “Waiting For The Robert E Lee”, 1949’s “After You’ve Gone” & 1950’s “Are You Lonesome Tonight?”, among others.
