Synopsis
This is a great deal more than just a collection of lyrics. Gershwin groups them under such headings as 'The Not Impossible He', 'The Important Male', 'The Important Female', 'Euphoria Revisited', and many others. Then he follows each lyric with a commentary that is at once scholarly, witty and of the greatest historical interest. While the lyrics have remained with us ever since they were first sung, they are enriched by these other words that are, happily, available once again.

Light edgewear, othewise near fine.Previousl owner ink inscription on the front free endpaper. Unclipped yellow jacket is bright with light edgewear. . "book gives the lesser-known Gershwin brother (the one who wrote "the words") a chance not only to see his lyrics for such songs as "Embraceable You," "Someone to Watch over Me," and 102 others stand on their own, but also to tell the classic showbiz stories behind each one. Sometimes these take the form of name-dropping personal anecdotes, and sometimes they're accounts of peculiar lyric challenges and how he solved them. Gershwin reveals that the original "dummy" lyric for the tricky "I Got Rhythm" was "Roly-Poly/ Eating solely/ Ravioli/ Better watch your diet or bust." Either as showbiz memoir or pure poetry, Gershwin's book is a delight. Size: octavo. Book. Seller Inventory # 036286
