 The evening was presented by UK impresario David Lee, a Jolson devotee who had, many years before, chosen "David Lee" as his stage name without knowing of the connection to Jolson.The show featured tributes to Jolson from Clive Baldwin, David Jacobs and, of course, Davey Lee himself.After suffering a stroke, Davey Lee was admitted to Windsor Gardens Healthcare Centre in Van Nuys, California, and died from natural causes in Los Angeles on June 17, 2008.
