Porgy and Bess a fair chance. This opera has some of the best songs that came out of the USA in that phenomenal decade, the ... more ... 30's. Without being able to give a reason, I think "Bess You Is My Woman Now" is THE most fabulous tune and who can fail to love "Summertime" (especially when sung by my wife!). Barbra Streisand decided against (it seems) all advice to include "Bess" and (I'm a little unsure of the exact title) "Don't let him handle me" (I'll check that and come back to edit this) and made a splendid job of it ("The Broadway Album" which includes "Memories"...more |

Feeling he ought to have had formal tuition, Gershwin once approached Ravel asking for composition lessons. Ravel asked what kind of money he was making, and suggested the tuition should be the other way around. Although slightly flippant, this gives some indication of Gershwin's huge popularity.
