About gershwin

George Gershwin (September twenty six, 1898 - July eleven, 1937) was an Yank composer. He wrote most of his vocal and theatrical works in collaboration along with his elder brother, lyricist Ira Gershwin. George Gershwin composed songs each for Broadway and for the classical concert hall. He additionally wrote popular songs with success. Several of his compositions are used on television and in numerous films, and several became jazz standards. The jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald recorded many of the Gershwins' songs on her 1959 Gershwin Songbook (organized by Nelson Riddle). Countless singers and musicians have recorded Gershwin songs, together with Fred Astaire, Louis Armstrong, Al Jolson, Bobby Darin, Art Tatum, Bing Crosby, Janis Joplin, John Coltrane, Frank Sinatra, Billie Vacation, Sam Cooke, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Madonna, Judy Garland, Julie Andrews, Barbra Streisand, Marni Nixon, Natalie Cole, Patti Austin, Nina Simone, Maureen McGovern, John Fahey, The Residents, Than & Sam, Sublime, and Sting. A residential building is called after him on the Stony Brook University campus.
