(FOX NEWS) – “The Jazz Singer” starring Al Jolson, the first movie that incorporated synchronized speaking parts for its actors, was released on this day in history, Oct. 6, 1927.

Primitive by today’s standards, the movie revolutionized cinema in the United States and beyond and is recognized as a landmark achievement in pop culture history.

“Wait a minute, wait a minute, you ain’t heard nothing yet,” said Jolson, portraying Jakie Rabinowitz, in the first words uttered in cinematic history.
