She sounds like a great person. I agree that music can change the world. We just need more people to do the right thing with music!

Cantor Benson is “the” defining composer/performer of Contemporary Jewish music today. He certainly is the most talented and creative!
I think it’s great that Judaic Sound Archives had the insight and “sechel” to feature this wonderful musician on it’s website! b’shalom, Cantor Rob Kaufman-Santa Fe, New Mexico

Comment on “You ain’t heard nothin’ yet”: Al Jolson sings by Johnny C

This is a very interesting post, I had no idea about the story behind AL Jolsen. Sounds inspiring and I think I will look into it more.

I have a 1915 Victrola and had the opportunity to hear him sing “Rock-a-Bye Your Baby With a Dixie Melody”, on an original record owned by a close friend.

Listening to that recording on that old (but restored) phonograph gave me a real sense of what it must have been like to hear him sing for the first time back inn the day.

Your post makes it all the more interesting to know a bit about the man behind the voice.

Thanks for the interesting post.
