Joan Davis was the funniest comedian since Fanny Brice. I loved her in Hold That Ghost with Abbot and Costello. And her TV show, I Married Joan , with Jim Backus. That song, "I'll be Seeing You" was written for all the women who lost husbands and lovers in world war 2. It's a heart wrenching song and Jolie sings it so well.

When I was a kid in the 1960's my grandparents took me to a theater in Boston to see an All Jolson Impersonation contest. I think I was around 7 years old. My grandfather was a fan of minstrel shows. I had no idea what they were about. So One after another the contestants got and sang one or two songs, some played the piano and some strummed a banjo while singing. Most stood there in the classic Al Jolson pose with their hands clasped together at their chest and all sang their heart out. The one who won the contest sang Camp Town Races. When he came up to get his trophy and cash prize it was discovered he was actually Black and that the MC informed him in front of the audience that he was disqualified due to his race. He was very upset and stormed off the stage and then they gave the trophy to the second place winner. While the performances were amazing, I have always considered this the most surreal and bizarre part of my childhood. The contest was followed by a 90 minute minstrel show. I relayed this to a Black friend of mine 20 years later who said they would have saved a lot of money had they hired "real Black folk." It took some time before I fully grasped what he said.

Jolson] has been to more Army camps and played to more soldiers than any other entertainer. He has crossed the Atlantic by plane to take song and cheer to the troops in Britain and Northern Ireland

Glad you enjoyed. Jolson said he never sang a song the same way twice, and the proliferation of different tracks bears that out.
