Happy Birthday Abe !



My friend wanted this CD. I bought it from Amazon, copied it to I-Tunes and will hand it over today. A win-win situation. Unusual album. A tribute to Al Jolson. The liner notes to the original album were written by Jackie Wilson (the only liner notes ever written by him), a excerpt:

"In no way is this album an attempt to imitate Jolson’s style, nor is it an attempt to duplicate his incomparable way with a song. This is simply my humble tribute to the one man I admire most in this business. With the sincere hope that my contribution will in some way help keep the heritage of Al Jolson alive through the great songs he left behind."
