Track features host, Al Jolson welcoming guest Peggy Lee for music, comedy and variety - 1948. Kraft Musical Hall was an extremely popular program of the era. Jolson became the host on the Kraft Music Hall on October 2, 1947 through May 26, 1949. His musical conductor and pianist, Oscar Levant, welcomed a wide variety of guests from the stage, screen, and radio. Peggy Lee is his guest on this program. Jolson appeared as a guest on this show several times from 1933 to 1935, before getting the starring role. Oscar Levant quite often pipes in with his dry wit.
Jolson kept performing until shortly before his death at the age of 64 in 1950, so these Kraft Music Hall shows were some of his last performances. This track will be stored in the "Musical Variety" Playlist
