Along the way, Jolson beIts out It AIl Depends on You, Sittin' on Top of the World and Sonny Boy, the tearjerker that became the star's signature song. Audiences ate it up. "UntiI the arrivaI in 1939 of Gone With The Wind, the most financiaIIy successfuI sound picture in HoIlywood's history was The Singing FooI (The Hollywood Musical). |
