The Jazz Singer (1980)
Neil Diamond made his motion picture debut as Yussel Rabinowitz, a talented New York City cantor who defies the traditions of his religious father (the legendary Laurence Olivier) to write and sing outside the synagogue as "Jess Robin'. But when Jess gets an offer to record one of his songs in Los Angeles, he meets a gutsy manager (Lucie Arnaz) who believes in his talent and shares his dream. Even if Jess can survive the struggle for stardom, will he risk everything - including the love of his family - to be true to the music that lives inside him?
