Asa Yoelson
In - The Twenty-Sixth of May…
The surprisingly dishy Lithuanian Singer of the ‘Jazz’, is, at the tender age of eight years old, is uprooted from the land of his birth & planted in the U.S.A, his given name lasting until 1917, when young Asa decides upon the much more familiar & snappier sounding…
Al Jolson
“…If you don’t get a letter than you’ll know I’m in jail…”
Of course, the very first thing most folk think of upon hearing his famous stage moniker being the rather odd rumour that Asa/Al was, indeed, polydactyl*!
Yes, indeed! It was oft’ whispered that Jolson had an extra ‘tootsie’ upon his left foot!
—Hmmmm!?
Is One absolutely positive about all of this..?
Ummm..
We’re imagining that’s just about all that needs be said for the, at this point, “…World’s Greatest Entertainer…” & undoubted lover of oh, very many a “Mammy” & absolutely nothing even remotely controversial springs to mind…
…nothing!
No…
Nothing at all!!
