Unclipped yellow jacket is bright with light edgewear. . "book gives the lesser-known Gershwin brother (the one who wrote "the words") a cha…nce 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.

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.
