His family immigrated to the United States in 1891, settling in Washington, D.C. Jolson's father, Moses Yoelson, was a cantor, and his mother, Naomi Etta Cantor, performed in vaudeville under the stage name "Joelson." Jolson started his career in show business at a young age, performing in vaudeville alongside his brother, Harry. In 1904, Jolson made his Broadway debut in a musical called "La Belle Paree," and he quickly gained a reputation as a dynamic performer. He continued to perform in Broadway shows throughout the early 1900s, including "Robinson Crusoe, Jr.," "Sinbad," and "The Honeymoon Express." In 1911, Jolson made his film debut in a short film called "A Plantation Act," and he continued to appear in silent films throughout the 1910s. However, it was his role in the 1927 film "The Jazz Singer" that cemented his place in Hollywood history. "The Jazz Singer" was the first feature-length film with synchronized dialogue, and Jolson's rendition of "My Mammy" became an instant classic. Jolson's career continued to flourish in the 1930s, and he starred in a number of successful films, including "The Singing Fool," "Say It with Songs," and "Wonder Bar." He also continued to perform in nightclubs and theaters, and he became known for his energetic, crowd-pleasing performances. In addition to his work in entertainment, Jolson was also known for his philanthropy. He was a vocal supporter of the USO during World War II, and he performed for troops stationed overseas. He was also an advocate for civil rights, and he was known for his friendships with African American performers, including Cab Calloway and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Jolson's personal life was often tumultuous. He was married four times, and he had a reputation as a womanizer. He also struggled with addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs, and his health began to decline in the 1940s. He suffered a heart attack during a performance in 1949, and he died a few months later on October 23, 1950, at the age of 64. Despite his personal struggles, Jolson's impact on American entertainment cannot be overstated. Undeniably, his impact on the American musical landscape is significant. Note: The first 78 RPM record came into existence around 1894, and in 1912, the Gramophone Company established 78 rpm as their recording standard. The production of shellac records continued throughout the 78 rpm era, with "unbreakable" 78 rpm vinyl records being introduced in the 1940s. The popularity of the 33 1/3 rpm "Long Play" record, initially released in 1948, caused the 78 rpm record to become obsolete before the end of the 1950s. As these 78 rpm recordings are quite old, they may contain derogatory language and/or negative stereotypes. It is important to evaluate such recordings within their historical context and consider them as a reflection of the attitudes prevalent at the time. These recordings form an integral part of the historical record and do not represent the views of this poster, channel, or Bowness Arts.
