    About people not knowing Paul McCartney: "Let it Be" is as far in past from us as Al Jolson was in 1970.

        @HeerJeet And I bet tons of people know The Beatles but not the names of the artists, like knowing a classic movie but not the stars.

        @HeerJeet yeah but Al wasn't making albums in 1967/79. MaC has had big albums and pop culture presence since 1970

        @HeerJeet Except 'Let It Be' was on a compilation that topped the charts for weeks in 35 countries as recently as 2000. Jolson's afterlife?

        @heerjeet We need a hashtag for this sort of comparison. #historicaldistance Present:Paul McCartney's Let it Be::Let it Be: Al Jolson.
