LARRY PARKS, OSCAR NOMINATED FOR THE JOLSON STORY (1946), gives out with For Me and My Gal in this dynamic scene from 1949's JOLSON SINGS AGAIN, the sequel to THE JOLSON STORY. It was Al Jolson's actual singing voice expertly lip synched by Parks in both movies. This vintage movie still is one of my prized possessions, since it is autographed by Parks. Incidentally, there were plans for a third film about Jolie's life, this time starring Jolson as himself, when he suddenly died in October, 1950, after entertaining troops in Korea.
