Al Jolson's Avalon


The song of Al Jolson's that Cliff referred to in Cliff' KV Notes. I agree with his assessment of Jolson
from youtube user kachzvi18
Although "Rose of Washington Square" was one of 'Jolie's' last film roles, playing 2nd fiddle to Alice Faye and Tyrone Power, JOLSON literally STEALS the show from both of them! Here is the deleted scene from the film , featuring Jolson singing a medley: APRIL SHOWERS and AVALON!

I found my love in Avalon
Beside the bay.
I left my love in Avalon
And I sailed away.
I dream of her in Avalon
From dusk till dawn.
So I think I'll travel on
To Avalon.
Every morn' my memories stray
Across the sea where flying fishes play.
And as the night is falling
I find that I'm recalling
That blissful all-enthralling day.
Beside the bay.
And I sailed away.
I dream of her in Avalon
From dusk till dawn.
So I think I'll travel on
To Avalon.
