Re: Looking for Al Jolson song "I Gave Her That"

[Robert Wiener <wiener...>]

Recording (1919 from "Sinbad" Words and Music by Bud De Sylva & Al Jolson.)
is available on Al Jolson, Vol. 2: The Salesman of Song 1911-1923   1992 
Pearl.  

You can hear some of it at towerrecords.com

(Apparently another take may also be out there.)
