About this listen
Al Jolson, “The World’s Greatest Entertainer”, sings songs of the day and invites his celebrity guests to join him on 16 half-hour musical-variety broadcasts.
The Kraft Music Hall came to radio in 1933 and lasted until 1949 with several big-name hosts, including Al Jolson. Jolson’s pianist and sidekick, Oscar Levant, was a regular and added sarcastic wit and charm to each broadcast. Jolson, dubbed “The World’s Greatest Entertainer”, was never better as he sang songs and welcomed his Hollywood friends as guest stars, including Bing Crosby, Red Skelton, Jimmy Durante, Charles Boyer, Judy Garland, Edward G. Robinson, Dorothy Lamour, Charles Laughton, and many others. Enjoy 16 incredible broadcasts from the Al Jolson years.
