Thanks. I have a friend with whom I used to debate over who was better: Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly. Don’t think we ever settled that one…

Wonderful post! I love the opera Porgy and Bess. I have a collection of Gershwin piano music and have always loved all their songs! Thanks for a great post!

I didn’t know much about them, so this was a bit of a discovery for me.

You might like watching the film "Rhapsody in Blue (1945)". It's a biography of George Gershwin. The film stars Robert Alda (yes, Alan Alda's father) as George Gershwin and it includes lots of his compositions including the title song. I enjoyed the movie quite a bit!

I’ve heard of it. Forgot there was a movie about George. Thanks.
