Al Jolson (born Asa Yoelson (June 9th 1886 – October 23, 1950) He was a Russian-born American singer, comedian, and actor. He was also dubbed "The World's Greatest Entertainer" at the peak of his career. His performing style was brash and extroverted and he popularized many songs that benefited from his sentimental, melodramatic approach. In the 1920s, Jolson was America's most famous and highest-paid entertainer. Jolson began performing is 1902 in several burlesque houses. In 1909, his singing caught the attention of Lew Dockstader, the producer and star of Dockstader's Minstrels. Jolson accepted Dockstader's offer and became a performer. On March 20, 1911, Jolson starred in his first musical revue at the Winter Garden Theater in New York City. La Belle Paree helped start his career as a singer. After La Belle Paree closed, he accepted an offer to perform in the musical Vera Violetta which opened on November 20, 1911 and was also a success. After Vera Violetta closed, Jolson starred in another musical, The Whirl of Society, propelling his career on Broadway to new heights. During his time at the Winter Garden, Jolson told the audience, "You ain't heard nothing yet" before performing additional songs. In 1916, Robinson Crusoe, Jr. was the first musical in which he was the star. In 1918, his acting career was pushed further after he starred in the hit musical Sinbad. By 1920, he had become the biggest star on Broadway. His next play, Bombo, became so successful that it went beyond Broadway to performances nationwide. Throughout the 1920's and 1930's, Jolson also starred in several very successful films. His song interpretations are filled with his usual exciting dramatic flair.
