Real name Jakie Rabinowitz (Al Jolson), this is the title character of the first ever talkie, 1927's The Jazz Singer. He defies his cantor father (Warner Oland) to become, duh, a jazz singer. He sings "Toot, Toot Tootsie," "Mother of Mine, I Still Have You," "Dirty Hands, Dirty Faces," "Kol Nidre," Irving Berlin's "Blue Skies" and of course, "My Mammy."
