TWENTY MILLION SWEETHEARTS: ILL STRING ALONG WITH YOU
This song became a trademark for Diana, and it turned into a standard encore number. Its a sweet, intimate version of the song from 1999. Listen while cuddling with a glass of wine.
Diana Krall: Ill String Along With You
This 2009 live video features more of Diana on the piano than singing, but its still pretty good.

THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

GO INTO YOUR DANCE
Al Jolson was still under contract to Warner Brothers, so the studio turned to him in 1935 for this film, which was nowhere near as good a flick as those that came before. He was teamed with Ruby Keeler, who was his wife at the time.
ABOUT A QUARTER TO NINE
Al came up in the days before electric recording, when a singer had to fill an entire hall with his unassisted voice. They were known as belters in those days before microphones. Even though its the electric era, you can hear Al moving between belting and crooning. Notice also the sudden turn to blackface, which was how Al got his start in the years before World War I. If youre wondering why this film is not generally available today, just take a look.
