I remember Al Jolson, and I remember the song, but I don't remember this particular version. Sounds old fashioned to me, like I expect 1920's music to sound. He's singing with an accent that they used to sing with in those days. Fascinating to hear what pop music sounded like before my time (I was born in 1943).
