"Mammy" was one of his signature songs (sung in blackface, of course).

My late dad was a huge Jolson fan. Grew up with most of the canon...

What, no love for "Latin from Manhattan!?"

some of his songs. Latin from Manhattan is not one that I'm familiar with, so thanks for the info. I was in somewhat of a puckish/facetious mood when I posted my original post, so I get where you are coming from. Have a good night!

I played some of them as a kid in the '60s, but I was more interested in playing my older brother's 45s of doo wop, R&B and early Rock 'n' Roll.

Thanks for posting.

He actually did an even "peppier" version later, which my dad would listen to, round this time of year...
