This 1936 cartoon tells the story of "Owl" Jolson, who pursues his passion for Jazz against the wishes of his strict, traditional parents. It's based off the life story of Al Jolson, a Jewish-Lithuanian immigrant to the US who became a vaudeville and Broadway legend and starred in the first ever full-length sound movie The Jazz Singer in 1927.
Check him out: Jolson - "Toot Toot Tootsie"
The first ever episode of South Park references the cartoon! I could only get the clip in German - hilarious.
Watch the full episode here.
