we have Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, Louis Armstrong, Paul Whiteman,
Fletcher Henderson,and many others who I think far eclipse Jolson.

Yeah... I'm too young to have seen Jolson as he had already passed.. - TWB 20:05:12 06/15/20 (4)

  Good video, thanks for posting it.
  
  I suppose that if GB thinks Jolson was the greatest, then I might just
  have to revise my opinion.

      Burns once observed that sex after 90 was like trying to shoot pool with
      a rope.

        Burns and Allen, I Married Joan, December Bride, Pete and Gladys and of course I Love Lucy... Lucy is about the only one that you can still catch reruns of on a regular basis. To your point though, Gracie Allen WAS a legend. She created a persona / character that has endured ALL these years. She or course was NOTHING like her radio / TV personality in real life and wrote much of her dialog herself. This clip from their show, illustrates what a comic genius she was!
