The newest version of the old film 'The Jazz Singer' is loosely based on Al Jolson (pronounced Yoleson) and his desire to guve up his occupation of Cantor in a Synagogue, and my favourite Singer -Neil Diamond is brilliant as usual in the starring role - I never get tired of listening to his rendition of 'Hello Again' from the film - wow

God's voice, is close to Jolson's voice. There is no voice OF God, just being interesting.

Jolson grew up near where I live -- in Washington, DC.

Did you also know that in Jolson Sings, in the scene were he sings Swanee the camera pans out and the person dancing is the real Al Jolson, also did ya know he had a brother Harry?? The movies and please understand i love them both of them, were lets say lacking in a hell of a lot of detail still a fantastic singer though and the first in many different things.
