• Track Listing

Includes 16 bonus tracks. The 1952 film of the Jazz Singer was a remake of the classic Al Jolson movie. Playing the lead was popular entertainer Danny Thomas and making her screen debut as his girlfriend was Peggy Lee. The film gave Thomas the opportunity to perform some of his light comedy routines and a selection of tunes including a couple of sacred songs. Peggy Lee played a Broadway star, a role that guaranteed her the chance to sing on screen. Lee had just charted with her version of Lover and the song's popularity ensured it's inclusion in the film. Due to both artists being contracted to rival record labels the duets performed on screen by the lovers were never recorded for commercial release. Instead, the songs were recorded individually for each respective record company. All the versions are included here.
