[@comicreliefcharacter]

Came for modern family Stayed for an absolute masterpiece of a song

[@HanauPete]

For the first 12 years of my life, I grew up in both Carolinas. This song was popular in the Fifties, too! Brings back good, warm memories. "Kiss each little buttercup"...I love it!

[@marilyn7154]

My father was an Al Jolson impersonator. I grew up listening to Al Jolson (my father) on a daily basis. A wonderful voice and great songs that will live on forever. Thanks Dad! :-)

[@arthurharrison1345]

Nothing today compares with the quality of Jolson.

[@summercates7212]

My Grandmother used to sing this to me while rocking me to sleep. Miss her so much.

[@theodorebiele5201]

I used to listen to him and Eddie cantor and many otherson the radio. i guess i've seen and heard a great deal in my lifetime. music has always been a saving grace for me. That's why I've reached 74 years old.

What a voice

[@Mr.Rocklight]

I love Asa Jolsen since I was 5 yrs old..He is still the best singer then and now and forever..you ain't heard nothing yet..love you Al

[@margaretthomas8899]

SPOT ON!

[@francisalanwormald6328]

I ONLY 12 & not ACCESS TO THIS RENDITION...NOW AT 80 I SEE & HEAR HIS SPECIAL WAY WITH A FINE LOCAL TUNE AMAZIN!!!!

[@jeffschecter4543]

Jolson is timeless and Thank God they re-recorded all his hits in the late 40's. He not only got to be A HOT DADDY in his final 5 years, but now we have what will be his legacy forever. The much deeper register of his unique voice (he was a high tenor when he was a broadway star) plus this new thick creamy resonance totally come together with his over-the-top "you aint hear nuthin yet" style and we have JOLSON at his absolute pinnacle of singing. He not only made the first "talking movie", and was the first to put a runway in a Broadway house, and the first to take Broadway shows out on the road, and one of the first stars to fly to WW2 troops to entertain them ... from which he got malaria and had to have an entire lung removed. Singing like this and on 1 lung........ I for one am greatly appreciative I got Jolson and he was dead when I was born.

[@HerbertLKlein]

I grew up listening to Jolson and still do. Thank you.

[@taylormaddux8433]

Thanks for this appreciation of the Jolson talent and appeal, as well as for a bit of his history.

[@myrnagodfrey1646]

WOW, AWESOME HISTORY, TKS SO VERY MUCH! REALLY 💞 THIS SONG & SINGER!

[@BuckyBrown-lt4ry]

Excellent comment.

[@SaxonC]

Growing up, my great uncle John used to always sing Jolson’s songs and imitated him! Good memories ❤️

[@h3llscream14]

Mitch and Cam sung this so I'm here now lol

[@wq198mnr]

[@MrTROYisLegend]

Thanks Trocadero and Red vs Blue for showing me such a wonderful song!

[@sammi4982]

You have got to be the COOLEST kid on your block to have this. Thank You

[@welcmasher2471]

We used to sing this in elementary school all the time :') Memories..

[@analiechagabriel5405]

Welc Masher yes me too

[@AubreyM-vi3ox]

He had a glorious voice. Dated but great great voice

[@rivaridge7211]

Did any then 61 year-old singer ever sound as good? Barbra and Ella were still great at that age, but my point is that Jolson was still at the very top (along with these two) of his game in 1947. Even in 1950 - when Al Jolson recorded his beautiful Stephen Foster songs, he still fully had it! Just months before his death.

[@Terry-eg9gg]

Ever since I was little my grandma would rock me singing this song. She’d pause for me to finish her sentence, to sing in the morning. She still does it to this day. Just hugging me and rocking me back and forth. It’s a habit now, doing this to little ones, cradling them and singing this song to them hoping when they grow they’ll sing with me.

[@SaxonC]

Jolson had a voice that could fill a theater without a mic!

[@donaldsmith6814]

You could put your hands on the back walls & feel them vibrate, when Jolie sang!

[@rhodiusscrolls3080]

As Denis Norden politely.observed As a performer he was second to none.

[@bemg1]

my mom started singing the chorus to this song...signed in, punched in 'nothin could be....and behold my Mama's singing along right now...love this site...just for these moment...

[@chester777ful]

My nan and grandads loved this guy and so do i and what fantastic tunes!

[@thomasjanik6922]

My parents and older sister loved Al Jolson. I was introduced to him the day I was first brought home from the hospital in 1956.

[@SASORI707]

Along with Daffy Duck's rendition of this, I also remember Fred and Ethel Mertz singing this as a duet in I Love Lucy. It's got a great melody, and the lyrics are pretty jazzy!

[@kwayneboy1524]

I came here because of Daffy.

[@Cupcakkecult]

Smae

[@dancingdingo]

I think Daffy's is the best !!!!❤

[@judyjohnson4166]

No lie, I woke up at 5AM this morning with this song stuck in my head! I did not even know that I knew this song! SMH!

[@rubydoobiedoo344]

Learned this at Palmetto Girls State. Had such an amazing time and this song is so much fun when 600+ girls are singing!

[@drdetroitcity]

I used to sing this to my little son Lionel when he was 18 mths when we dropped his Mum off to work eves ...His Mum's name was Talita: I changed the words: Nothing could be finer than to be with little Liner in the morning.... Nothing could be sweeter than to be with our Talita in the morningLoL!

[@janebrewster9618]

I'm here because a good friend's mother used to sing this for us- in the 50s.

[@oakleysierney1918]

I used to play this song from an old songbook as a kid, and I got the tune stuck in my head lately, but I couldn't remember a specific line. That's what brought ME here! "Strolling with my girlie when the dew is pearly early in the morning." How could I forget THAT?

[@xevcosmo]

Al Jolson, an American institution, the world would be a better, kinder place if music like this would come back mainstream.

[@CountTentacula]

I sing this song to my baby cousin whenever he's either bored or crying. He often loves it.

[@larrysaladino4764]

I loved His. Song MAMe , I walk a million miles for your smiles

[@nandor41]

Pretty song...Great singer.... Wonderful era in XX century music. Thanks for posting

[@MacJaxonManOfAction]

There is only one thing finah than being in Carolina...listening to big Al belting out this brilliant song.

[@billybassman21]

My dad use to sing this to me when I was a little boy back in the late 70s/early 80s.

[@brucemarmy8500]

Al was our voice on the silver screen. Love his 'thusiasm.

[@pfennyblack]

Me too, he was great! (:D I like all optimistic "cheer-up" songs, no matter what country they come from! (:D Roll on Blue Skies...

[@robertflint2549]

[@takuhe156]

He was perhaps the finest black entertainer of our time.. He was the best.

[@joanettemurcia2929]

[@gildamarlowe5110]

I am 27 and I liked the movie--it was on TV --not with Jolson tho, it was a young guy who played him

[@dafteverton7218]

Scouse Power !

[@aarongranda7825]

Saw it on TV when I was nine. I've liked Jolson ever since.

[@MinisterDavidRagsdale]

CAROLINA PROUD!!

[@welcmasher2471]

North or South? ;)

[@MinisterDavidRagsdale]

Carolina is both Carolina. I live in South though. It isn't so much a place. It's a way of life.

[@caradawn1748]

Welc Masher that's what people ask me a lot cause my name is Carolina lmao

[@nickparisi1688]

Carolina Dawn yy

[@TheAirplaneDriver]

My airplane was built in 1947....rolled out of the factory on March 3, 1947. Seems like '47 was a good year :-)

[@silentkill450]

This is a really nice song, it took me a while to realize that Trocadero made a cover of this song for red vs blue.

[@nickp7901]

Heard Fred Sanford (Redd Foxx) sing this on his show!

[@wendyromano9872]

When "Old Fashion" is back "In Fashion" - Thanks Al Jolson!

[@ANJROTmania]

This song is literally me

[@pfennyblack]

You and Dean Martin, lol! (:D

[@nickparisi1688]

pfennyblack I will

[@loretta_d]

Woke up this rainy Maryland morning singing this song and I thought: Where the HECK did THIS come from, but I went with it and HERE I AM!!

[@MichaelJHuman]

There's something likable about this song. I am a rocker, but that does not mean I can't enjoy pop songs from the before I was born :)

[@jasonwhite5160]

Does anyone know who first introduced this song? It's from The Passing Show of 1922, which ran on Broadway. I know the legend is that William Frawley introduced it, but he didn't first appear on Broadway until 1925.

[@larrysaladino4764]

AL Jolson. Sang for. Years , they. Made. A movie. Of his life

[@RobertThomas-yn8cq]

Though USC is bound to loose the game today it still is a great day to be in the balmy weather of this glorious state. My Uncle and probably half the people I know would be delighted with SC's second teams win. Hold that tiger.

[@DonGeorge82]

[@richardawatterson1526]

Let's just say this is pure music

[@dancebandleader]

@bobbutler1 Definitely. Few had his stage magnetism, according to many. During one traffic infested drive to work a few years ago, I listened to Jolson, and arrrived at work feeling better!

[@richardawatterson1526]

Truly a wonderful singer of his time

[@Lmanyakaa]

I love Daffy Duck version of this which can be seen book revue episode

[@jrodrigopym]

[@promnightdumpsterbaby9610]

[@CatsPjamas1]

This was Jolson's first recording of "Carolina in the Morning", he didn't record it in the 1920's.

[@AmyDoodler]

[@madamerotten]

There's a significant piece of this recording missing around 2:30.

[@iman53]
