1. @Califgirl101 @pootao66 HE WAS NOT referring to the Golden Gate Bridge- He recorded this song in January of 1924 (became a thing at the end of the 1920's '28 I think but not sure) The Golden Gate Bridge constrution was not even built to between 1934 and complete in 1937- It Had to do with state history and why we are called the Golden State and them "Bowers of flowers that bloom in the Spring" the ones you see when you comeinto the state coming from the east 2 west on the Lincoln Highway (I-80)
2. .... What golden gate does have in mind? Blonde haired missus'?....... what the HELL kind of STUPID question is THAT? ? How old are you? 10? only a child would be idiotic enough to post such a GD stupid question
3. The Golden Gate Mr. Jolson was referring to was The Golden Gate Bridge!
4. Ah, love his voice, childhood memories....
5. Ah, love his voice, childhood memories....
6. Both are among the greatest songs written still.
7. My feelings exactly.
8. haha same here
9. I truly wish the California, BOTH Nor-Cal & So-Cal were still what they were when Al Jolson sang this beautiful song. Well, minus the bigotry of course. But, shame to the Greedy Real Estate Men and Women and the Dope Pushing Mafia who ruined Our State in the name of a quick buck....
10. This was one of my favorite songs from cartoons from this time period.
11. Wow!! Timeless! Never regretted moving here in 1990. The weather is the best. My son was born here in Los Angeles, 2002. First generation Californian!!
12. What golden gate does have in mind? Blonde haired missus'?
13. MAN... California has the best theme songs ever.
14. I grew up watching The Jolson Story and Jolson sings again Movies, so remember so many of these Songs.
15. remembering my dad...who sang all these old jolson songs around and about all his life....recently left us aged 87....what a crooner! thanks for these old memories.
16. my granddad is 75 and has recorded a cd professionally singing Al Jolson songs which he has done beautifully, he sounds just like him and i am not the only person who thinks this! if you have a look at my page and listen im sure you will think it aswell! keep up the good work farvie xxxxxx
17. Era adolescente cuando se dieron las dos películas interpretadas por Larry Parks. Debo haberla visto no menos de diez veces cada una; y con grandes dificultades, conseguí el 33 1/3 que se vendió en aquella "belle èpoque" de mi vida. Saludos.
18. Which state?
19. I second that. :D
20. Well, you're a moron who clearly didn't know much about the california of the early 20th century. The past wasn't a magically better place, if anything the quality of life in Cali is dramatically better. Go shit on someone else's videos.
21. I'm only 29 years old, this song RULES!
22. Amazing song & 'Jolson's' voice is outstanding, however - & Asa Yoelson wouldn't like this but...., I see Larry Parks every time I hear him sing!....
23. Why does there always have to be a jerk like this, posting everywhere, having to make a right wing political statement where politics doesn't even belong. and placing blame for 40 years for everything bad on liberals? Nothing is more ignorant, nor preposterous. 
24. @alanicu2, Actaully, Franz Liszt is consider the first rock star of music. It is commonly known and is taught in basic music history classes.
25. Actually John Philip Sousawas the first rock star---His band made 20million bucks during his 40 year career.Hisimpact is also still felt today.  Also the phrase 'concert tour' was coined as Sousa took his band across the world in 1908. Jolson was great, but the 2nd rock star.
