George and Ira Gershwin: The Official Web Site
Strike  up the band and pump up the volume to hear the brilliant works of George and Ira Gershwin. From 1924 to 1937, the Gershwin brothers refined American musical comedy through dozens of scores for stage and screen. The history section provides biographies of both brothers, as well as a timeline and other resources. The anthology section highlights selected films and shows. But the heart of this Flash site is a Jukebox that features sound clips from over 40 Gershwin songs. Listen to classic jazz chanteuse Billie Holiday crooning "Embraceable You" and mousse-addled rocker Jon Bon Jovi singing an unexpected "How Long Has This Been Going On?". Proof that the Gershwins' musical genius is timeless and enduring. (in Composition and Song Writing) |
