”ALL ALONE”It turned out that 1924 would be a great year for Irving with a lot of successful songs. This song received its first recording from the greatest “belter” in the business. It was a horn-based acoustic recording, and you can hear why “belting” was necessary. Note that it was still in the intro-and-chorus format. That’s Irving and Al in the photo.

Where was Al Jolson from and why did he roll his “r’s” like he did? I never really cared for his style. No offense. :)
