Description
The collaboration of Ira and George Gershwin was one of the summits of American popular music. Ira Gershwin's lyrics-with their stylish simplicity, exuberant comic invention, and colloquial eloquence-have entered the culture, and Robert Kimball has collected the most memorable of them into a beguiling collection that includes
Fascinating Rhythm
Oh, Lady, Be Good!
Someone to Watch Over Me
'S Wonderful
My One and Only
How Long Has This Been Going On?
I've Got a Crush on You
Embraceable You
I Got Rhythm
But Not for Me
Let's Call the Whole Thing Off
They Can't Take That Away from Me
A Foggy Day (In London Town)
Nice Work If You Can Get It
Long Ago (and Far Away)
The Man That Got Away
and dozens more.
