When my husband and I got married in 1968 he was in the Army and we didn't get to have a reception and have our first dance. Fast forward 20 years and we were at a 50th wedding anniversary celebration. My husband and I were part of the entertainment so he and I were on stage behind the curtains. The dj played the Anniversary waltz and I was peeking out watching the sweet old couple dancing. My husband tapped me on the shoulder and when I turned to look at him, he took me in his arms and we waltzed behind the curtains. It's one of my most treasured memories of my dearest husband. We didn't get to celebrate our own 50th anniversary as he died from cancer not many years after this precious moment in our lives. I was blessed to have him for as long I had him in my life. ❤

This never fails to bring tears. Such an innocent but deep love song.

I fell in love with Al Jolson when I was about 13 or 14 years old around 1959. Kids today in 2020 will never appreciate what a great singer he was. So sad kids today don't appreciate music of long ago. So many great artists.

This was the song at my wife's funeral, 62 years of wonderful bliss.

Aww.... when 'Al' sings this in the movie it's the beginning of the end his marriage. A really good movie. Larry Parks is brilliant in it. 💖💖💖💖

A childhood all time favourite, not only the great movie but the biggest memory of my late father singing Al Jolson songs around the house...thanks to Al Jolson and to the memory of my father...🙏

I am 81 and I grew up with all of this music and I can't get enough of it

when I was little, my grandmother would sing Al Jolson songs all the time. she showed me the Jolson story, and though i know some parts aged extremely poorly, his love for entertaining stuck with me. As the years went on, we'd sing together, i went and studied acting, i wouldnt be the man i am without her help and guidance. I sang this song once, by myself from beginning to end, and she heard me. And she had a look of pride in her eyes, like... 'i'm glad I taught you, and i'm happy you listened'. The last song we sang was Sweet Sixteen, and even in her last hours, she was in perfect tune. We both were. RIP my dear grandmother, you were a lifechanger.

Love this song. My father loved Al Jolson story and Jolson sings again. My father is gone now but, I still watch these movies.

I LOVE THE ANNIVERSARY SONG ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITES IT BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES WHEN I THINK OF THE FOND MEMORY'S OF GROWING UP.IN A FAMILY THAT LOVED MUSIC AND ALMOST ALL MY FAMILY IS GONE NOW BUT THE FOND MEMORY'S LINGER ON..

When I was a child I remember my father playing on the violin 'Oh How We Danced'. My father passed away 23 years ago, I am now 66 years old. After 40 years, I heard this song once more. It brought back very emotional memories of my father and tears to my eyes.

My mum died on 7th May on her 58th wedding anniversary this was played both my mam and dad's funerals. Childhood memories ❤❤❤😢😢

Best musical ever Larry parks was a beautiful man who played the part to perfection

I'm 79 and I recall seeing The Jolson Story when it came out in 1946. I've always remembered The Anniversary Song from that time on. A beautiful song that should live forever!

Wonderful memories of my parents dancing around the lounge room when I was a child brought tears to stream down my face. Beautiful memories but tinged with heartache. I miss my mum and dad so much.

Al Jolson. I’m 81 and I remember you. You are just as I remember really good, I still like you.❤.

I was 5 when I first saw The Jolson Story, and decided at that moment, I would dance with my husband at my wedding. And 22 years later, I did. I love Larry Parks.

88 years old but still love Larry parks playing in the jolson story love al Johnson singing

I was a young boy when my dad would sing to my mom, very beautiful.

This is a man that just had to sing in order to feel good. He gave him and the people the greatest pleasure.

Rest in peace, Mr Jolson your voice will live forever.

gone are those great days of genuine talent

I have always loved the Jolson films and songs, the anniversary song has once again brought tears to my eyes. I am 76 years young, but a real softy.

Loved all these old movies. ❤️

At 25 years of age my wife and I played this at our wedding. It was definitely dated but I did it to honor my 87 year old Grandma who played it at her wedding.

I love Al Jolson he sings so sweetly.Angels gave him a wonderful voice.

Larry Parks was so handsome and such A Terrific Actor made the Film so grand and so enjoyable!

I am of Italian decent . I have duel citizenship. I fell in love with this voice when I was 5 years old in 1960.

Brings back memories of my father and mother dancing in the kitchen to the Anniversary Song...my father would sing to my mother...They were so in love -

I need to watch these 2 films again. Larry Parks. Stunning performance.

Al Jolson was the most favorite entertainer/singer of my Dad..He was & still is one of Hollywoods most famous entertaines of his time 30's 40'etc.He chose to continue to singing even when his wife asked him to stop . I've always admired him for making the best choice of continuing to sing & entertain to thank God for giving him this special talent in order to share it with many many people. sincerely, julio artist since 1961

This is from one of my top 10 favorite movies of ALL time. Watched it with my dad as a kid, and couldn't wait to own the VHS!

Larry Parks played a great part in The Jolson Story.

My mother used to sing this. It always brings me to tears.

For my wonderful nana who fell asleep on her 57th wedding anniversary and this was played at her funeral. My pop raised my mum with this film, I was in turned raised by my pop with this film, my 10 year old son is the 4th generation to now have this film to return to to think of wonderful childhood memories. The jolson story, showboat, 7 brides for 7 brothers and many others.... there will never be magic like them again. At only 32 years of age, but now moved away from home, I watch this film with the most amazing sense of being "home" Never watched this without a tear since my wee nana left us

it is beautiful how he sings it with so much emotion.

Al Jolson was at his best when he recorded the sound track for the Jolson Story. A true love song, I still get a tear in my eye when I hear this. I was almost 20 years old when I shared it with a very special person.

This was my mom & dad's favourite tune, it was played quite often in our home when my dad was home on leave from the navy, a very fond memory for me. Al Jolson singing it is exquisite in my humble opinion🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Al Jolson had such a beautiful voice 🎼

Tears are pouring out of my eyes!! Loved this movie, loved all the actors....LOVE this song 😭😭😭😭

I am in my late 50s and love old songs this is one of my favorites beautifully sang. Al Jolson had a unique voice you know straight away that he's singing.

What a voice. I would watch this movie with my father and grandmother. They used to say I was an old soul. I love it. They are both gone but the song goes on. Thank you for posting!

What a beautiful song and performance.

My wife's late mother was given a musical box that played this tune for an anniversary present. It still brings tears to my wife's eyes. Her late parents were a very loving couple who met in very romantic circumstances, as two brothers married two sisters (but not on the same day). Her late aunt, from Greece met her uncle whilst he was serving in Germany just after the war. They had about 70 years together, having married in 1947. Sadly missed.

tears streaming this was a film i watched with my pappa and he sang it to my my gran x

Just doesn't get better than that!

My Beloved Father had told us all about Asa Yolson. Later ee saw the movie starring Larry Parks snd Evelyn Keyes. And the unforgettable songs Like MAMMY and The Anniversary Song. I am now 89 years old but the voice, the lyrics remain in my memory as if it was Yesterday. Please release a few more of those songs.

My mum loved him , she would play some of his stuff during the 60s and I was only a little girl but I was blown away by this man's vocie. Still am. Dont no what made me look tonight for his stuff. Glad I did tho. I wasn't even born when he was about but I feel moved by his vocie. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful song! First time I have ever heard of it. Our anniversary is March 28, 2024. Thanks again. God bless!

Larry Parks was wonderful in The Jolson Movies. The BEST of anyone singing to dubbed music in any film 'ever'.

beautifull that was the waltz at my wedding

Wow he can sing lol I never seen this and came across this today crazy but I love it lol

Me and my mother would sit and watch these films when I was just a nipper. Now 46 and still love them. R.I.P mum miss you. Xx

I watched this movie with my dad ,we both loved loved it so much ,what a fabulous song ,sadly dad no longer with us but if you listening dad this is dedicated to you my special dad 😘☮️✋💝💋 Shirley h Darlington England 💝✋

This song is a Master - Piece !It's so Beautiful both Lyrics and the Music!

Listening now, sending to my friends on their anniversary, bringing tears to my eyes as I remember my wedding, and my beautiful parents who taught me to play music and sing. 😿💖

I call this the scene of faces; when you watch the entire film, you understand that Al Jolson's whole life was about singing, and performance... He had no other life, for what he did WAS his life... As the story here goes, Al had given up singing and show business to make his wife happy and just be at home... Here you see the faces of his wife, Manager, and parents, when dad finally gets Al to break his singing silence, and side a song for the anniversary... What they witness, is the extreme joy and happiness that Al displays, as he is again doing what his whole life was about ; singing. Like an intoxication, the magic of being who he was again surfaced, and he beamed with joy forgetting that he was no longer on stage singing just for a moment... The faces tell the story as the others realize how unhappy Al really was NOT singing, and being at home... Soon after, his wife left him so that Al was again free to go back to the stage, and live the life he was meant to as the Singer to live faces. I relate much to this story, and this part, for I have no other life then what I do in the Amusement Entertainment Business.... It is who I am, and even though I work crazy endless hours, if I didn't do what I do, then I would die... For I have no other life then what I do; nor would I want any other.

Seen this movie in 1991 when I just arrived in this country and I watched it more than seven times; one of my favorite movies. Anniversary Song's melody is as delicious as honey. Thanks for uploading.

Absolutely outstanding from Larry Parks

This is a really beautiful song, and I love rock!

When this film was first released, I must have seen it ten times. It remains one of the best films ever. made. Every aspect of it is honest, and moving, Larry Parks with Jolson's voice was the most perfectly beautiful man I'd ever seen.. My reaction remains the same. This scene is cinematic perfection. Ahhhh the good old days.

We need to bring this movie back! It is all there. Beauty, love, courage, great music, and the tragedy of being torn by conflicting emotions. TIME IT WAS ON T.V. AGAIN AT THE VERY LEAST!!.

beautiful song I remember when I was little I heard this song in the back ground and never forget it

My mum took us to see all the great musicals at the pictures-this was one of them.

Always makes me cry ... so lovely

Absolutely beautiful song from a superb film.

"our love was unaltered by time" -- great lyric

the first film I ever see when i was just four years old first time in a cinema so will always be my favorite

Love this song and the film. One of my all time favourites along with Angels with Dirty faces and One flew over. Jolson was a legend

My Dad got me hooked on this song when I was a kid. I'm now 59 and still hum it every day...its the one song that's just stuck....

this is so wonderful, I love it.

Al jolson will be around thru his songs long after the critics are long gone

One of the greatest films of all time about one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived , nothing like this will ever be seen again as the talent does not exist and no-one can write proper song anymore...songs with lyrics and music....

I love Al Jolson. I first heard his music when I was about 13 . You wouldn't think a 13 year old would enjoy Al Jolson. I watch the Jolson movies over & over again.

Wonderful. I searched for years for this song. Thank you for posting. So great to have such awesome music around.

Such a lovely moving song

This was the Love Song I heard for 25yrs .... I Adore it.

Ive watched a full range of different type movies but This is one of the best movie scenes of all times … love .. superb acting .. great singing to a heart warming song sung with huge sensitivity and emotion combined with the most brilliant thoughtful looks that could ever be weaved into a 3 min scene .. it’s perfection .. it brings tears to my eyes And heart … extraordinary powerful scene ….

Remember watching this film with my grandad and dad twenty years ago when I was 13. Beautiful film and songs

Touches my heart everytime I hear it.

I admired Larry so much, He is one man I wish I could go back in time and talk to. WHAT A PERFECT copy of Jolson’s voice!

Beautiful and Larry Parkes is Al Jolson x

It’s 2020 and this song still gets me. 74 years from now I can guarantee people won’t be looking up rap music.

Originally it's musical piece written by Romanian Composer (Iosif Ivanovici) called {Waves of the Danube}.

it doesn't get much better than this :)

That is an audience that I would so love to be in. In 1981,my family went on holiday to North Wales and I fished with Andy McCluskeys young nephew and he said, you need to follow this group, they have just been signed up.. That was the weekend of King Charles wedding to Lady Di. I have loved them ever since. The Wirrals' finest❤️❤️😍😍

remember this as a little girl- now, as a senior citizen I am about to get married- this will be our wedding song

Beautiful Voice...what a talent! Love this!

Watched this with my dad as a kid, and couldn't wait to own the VHS!

i love this song too, many fond family sing songs

Thank you Graeham, this was my parents song for their bridal dance.... My Dad had a beautiful voice; and for 37 of their wedding anniversaries- my Dad woke my Mum singing this song while delivering Mum breakfast on Bed... Sadly, the 38th was sung (by Dad) at her funeral. Thank you!

Oh my God such a beautiful song

I love this so much, what a wonderful piece. Amazing. I love it.

Real talent has no age gaps anyone who appreciates quality knows when they hear it ! I was was only a little girl when my Mother told me that Al Jolson had died, I cried because I thought it was the handsome actor in the movie. Larry Parks did a wonderful job in the movies playing Al Jolson. Jolsons voice was the best.

Al jolson was one of my dad jimmy favorites love anne

It still sends shivers down my whole body the song, al jolsons voice and also Larry parks performance something that will never be better in all time.

Hope I'm not the only one still enjoying this in 2021.

Yhese 2 movies were Such a part of my younger life, mind you this was the Re-runs shown in an old little "Classics Cinema" & we would skip school and watch them all day long being in love with Larry Parks,

It's a pitty that T.Vs don't show movies like this anymore.

Such a beautiful song reminds me of my nan 💔 she died when I was 8
