EDITORS COMMENTS
Al Jolson, the legendary American singer and actor, is captured in this historic photograph from 1927 as he performs in the groundbreaking film, "The Jazz Singer." This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of entertainment and the cultural significance of Jolson's innovative style. Born Asa Yoelson in Lithuania in 1886, Jolson came to the United States as a child and began his career in vaudeville. He quickly gained fame for his energetic performances and unique vocal style, which often included blackface makeup. In "The Jazz Singer," Jolson made history as the first major feature film to incorporate synchronized sound, marking a turning point in the history of cinema. In this photograph, Jolson's expressive face is illuminated by the stage lights as he sings into the microphone, his eyes closed in concentration and his mouth wide open in song. The blackface makeup, which was common in minstrel shows and early film, remains a controversial aspect of Jolson's legacy. However, it is important to remember that this photograph and the film it represents are historical artifacts, reflecting the cultural norms and attitudes of their time. Despite the controversy surrounding his use of blackface, Jolson's influence on popular music and entertainment cannot be denied. He was a pioneer in the use of recorded sound in films and helped to popularize jazz and blues music for a wider audience. This photograph serves as a reminder of the complex and often contradictory history of American entertainment and the enduring impact of Al Jolson's groundbreaking career.
