You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet is a tribute album to Al Jolson, recorded by American singer Eddie Fisher in 1968. ^[3] It was his last RCA Victor album. ^{[4] [5]}

Background

After "Now I Know" barely charted, (having just done well on the AC chart), ^[6] Eddie Fisher started his last project, a tribute album to Al Jolson.

Fisher's family and other people actually used to call Fisher "Sonny Boy", ^[7] a song of Jolson's, which he would eventually include in the album.

Even before You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet, he showed his affection for Jolson with his Mame cuts, which were recorded for his People Like You album in 1967. He also performed his songs in shows and included some of his songs in his only live album, Eddie Fisher at the Winter Garden , 7 of the songs he sung in the album would be recorded in the studio this time.

Overview

The album was released in 1968 and it was unsuccessful, didn't chart, didn't sell ^[2] and Fisher's recording career ended until his last album in 1984, named After All.

The album's name comes from the marketing of Jolson’s sound films, particularly The Jazz Singer (1927), which is considered the first feature-length “talkie” with synchronized sound. ^[8]
