You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet is a tribute album to entertainer Al Jolson, released by American singer Eddie Fisher in late 1968.[4] It was his last RCA Victor Records album.[5][6]

After "Now I Know" barely charted, (having just done well on the Billboard Easy Listening chart, and barely reaching the pop charts),[7] Eddie Fisher started his last project, a tribute album to singer and actor Al Jolson. 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.[2] 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.[8][9]

Fisher's family and other people actually used to call Fisher "Sonny Boy",[6] a song of Jolson's, which appeared on the album and was highlighted as a pick by magazines who reviewed the album.[10][9]

Release

The album was released in late 1968 and it was considered unsuccessful; didn't chart, didn't sell.[2] Fisher's recording career was short from this point on, with his final single coming the next year. 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.[11] The LP's producer was independent record producer Al Schmitt.[2] Fisher, dissatisfied with RCA Victor's lack of promotion of the album, left the label soon after.[12] This would be Fisher's final album for two decades, until he came back to recording in 1984, with his final album named After All.[2]
