Not accurate as a biography, but accurate in its depiction of the progress of popular music from Stephen Foster, through ragtime, through jazz, through swing and then into the easy listening ballards of the late 40s.
Al Jolson was the first pop star of African-American influenced music. His very original and theatrical performances shouldn't be missed. Three stars.
