Я охренел когда узнал насколько это древний хит!

There's something frighteningly frantic about this!

👏👏👏👏👏

They really knew how to have fun.

This song is featuring in the Wodehouse’s tale ‘Jeeves and the Song of the Songs’, indeed i thank you up for give me this chance for understand that cool story. God bless your channel.

слушаю, только потому-что герои одной читаемой мной книги постоянно упоминают эту эээ.. композицию? песню?

Hallmark87 used a cover of a 90+ year old song haha wow.

Ongemakkelijke beelden bij een grandioos gebracht, sentimenteel lied. Prachtig. Dat Al als succesvol geëmigreerde Jood, wat vond van het alom aanwezige racisme in zijn nieuwe land, is algemeen bekend. Dit liedje, en Al, is voor altijd, de black face iets dat we niet terug (zouden moeten) willen. Stem Biden, er is (helaas) géén keus...

I wonder who did the choreography.

God bless him I love his voice and music he was a good human being

Just lost my dad to day he used to black up and sing Al jolson , just had to listen to Sony boy 😂 rip dad ..love Alan xx

I work in a care home and run a dementia unit, and regularly my residents sing this song together. It's very sweet.

Jolly sing it as it is!

My dad use to sing this to me , and always had tears in his eyes im 86 now but I was just a little girl back then but always remember it

2:35 is that blackface? pretty sure those were white guys in the previous scene. not picking on it, just asking.

Alsksk

choro sempre.

the melody of the chorus is the same as istanbul(not constantopole) (by they might be giants)

Release Date 2022-09-07 Which Is September 7, 2022

Check out Bob Dylan's rearrangement of his own song "When I Paint My Masterpiece" in an apparent homage to "Puttin' on the Ritz." Performed at his spring tour opener in Fort Lauderdale FL on March 01 2024, a week ago. It's on KZbin.

Marvellous. Did she answer her cell phone?

He cant be black so he acts like it. F him

JOLLY at his best.

Who came here after reading “Sonny Boy” by Annejet van der Zijl?

Шикарно🎉

❤❤❤❤❤

Gershwin Wrote This Song with His Friend : Al Jolsons' Voice in His Head , As He Wrote The Music For Porgy and Bess, But Jolson recommended George Use A Real Black Cast For The Broadway Musical Play ! For The Very First Time ! Jolson was Busy Making Movies in Hollywood ! Jolson told Gershwin Use : Paul Robson In His Part ! Robson was A Huge Success Playing Porgy , Instead of Jolson.

Love Al Jolson ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Fascinating, although it's probably a 5th generation copy, including a VHS video I guess...

Thanks and kudos to all those who have access to and post these musical clips from the past.

Al could captivate an audience for hours, his music and voice evoked so much emotion...he was the GREATEST entertainer!

I’m writing this in late November 2023. Yes, many years after you have posted it, but I have never seen this live version of the song. SF Valley native here, born, raised, educated, worked for 30 years, and now retired still here in the valley.

Thank you I never knew that let this be known he was a good man god bless him ❤

Totally hilarious stupid crap!

You only came here because of the video on the evolution of music from 1840-2013, right? Hehehe

man what i would pay or sacrifice to go there with modern recoding equipment to get a full colour HD high quality version of the original play. it must have been like magic

a talented Masonic satanic puppet... a white man with a dirty face who sings sickening pietism

great

WOW fantastic.

I watch this, and it's wonderful, but at the same time, one realises that these young, vibrant folks are probably no longer with us. Life goes by so very quickly. It may not seem to, but while you can you might as well enjoy yourself.

From 1923 until 1930 The Cotton Club was located on the corner of Lenox Avenue and 142nd Street in the Harlem area of Manhattan. It became a place where rich white folks would come to see the great black jazz acts that played there. The club itself was segregated to white audiences, and the patrons had to "rub elbows" with the residents of the area to get there. That is what this song was originally about. The first black entertainers at the club allowed to come mingle with the white audience were the Nicholas Brothers, the brilliant dancers, who were young kids at the time, because the audience insisted on meeting these exceptionally talented youngsters.

Those were the better times indeed

CANCEL! CANCEL! CANCEL! Only Jimmy Kimmel is allowed to do blackface.
