Notes
10
THE MAN I LOVE, written for Adele Astaire in Lady, Be Good!, was cut before the Broadway
premiere. It was to be sung by Morton Downey, Vivian Hart and Roger Pryor in the weak 1927 version of
Strike Up the Band that failed to open. It was also cut from Marilyn Miller's part in Rosalie. Due to advocacy
by Lady Mountbatten, the song became popular in Europe after she gave a free copy to a British dance band.
9
I GOT RHYTHM, from Girl Crazy, was first sung by Ethel Merman. Some published versions
correct the grammar to I've Got Rhythm. In 1919, SWANEE was Gershwin's first hit song. Al Jolson, the
most popular star on Broadway, made it his own and featured the song on his tour across the United States.
8
'S WONDERFUL was sung in Funny Face by Adele Astaire and Allen Kearns.
7
Gertrude Lawrence sang SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME accompanied by the Mort Carson
Orchestra in Ob Kay! She continued singing the song in the lead role in the later London production. BUT
NOT FOR ME from Girl Crazy was performed by Ginger Rogers and Willie Howard. After dancing in films
with Fred Astaire and getting an Academy Award for Best Actress, Rogers retired to her southern Oregon
home in Jackson County and a winter house in Palm Springs, where she passed away. To this date, Medford's
Ginger Rogers Theater hosts Oregon Shakespearean Festival summer events.
6
SOMEBODY LOVES ME from George White Scandals 0/1924, was sung by Winnie Lightner.
5
The CONCERTO IN F premiered at the Globe Theater in New York on December 3, 1925, with
George Gershwin on piano onstage with an orchestra conducted by Walter Damrosch. This version of the
second movement for clarinet quartet was arranged by Mike Curtis, clarinetist with the Eugene Symphony
and former director of the jazz ensemble at Oregon State University.
4
FASCINATING RHYTHM was a number in Lady, Be Good! that Cliff Edwards (Ukelele Ike) sang
with orchestra. The dance to the song closed with a difficult hop step suggested by George Gershwin that
Fred Astaire made nightly to earn a standing ovation with his sister, Adele. THEY CANTT TAKE THAT
AWAY FROM ME, from the 1937 ^^ Shall We Dance, was sung in the movie by Fred Astaire to Ginger
Rogers on a ferry boat from New Jersey to Manhattan.
3
RIALTO RIPPLES was composed by two teen-age writers at Remick Music, George Gershwin and
Will Donaldson. The rag was popular among New York piano players but the song wasn't a hit. The writers
of the planned Black-Eyed Susan were so impressed by OH, LADY BE GOOD! that they renamed their
script Lady Be Good! and gave control of their next seven Broadway musicals to to the Gershwin brothers. In
the show, the song was sung by Walter Catlett and cast. In films, this was a favorite sung by Fred Astaire,
who starred in the original New York stage production with his sister, Adele.
2
On the opening night of Show Girl, nineteen-year old Ruby Keeler Jolson was to sing LIZA in a
musical produced by Flo Ziegfeld walking down an unstable staircase. Al Jolson, who was supposed to be in
California making a film, stood up in the audience and sang to his young wife's surprise. Despite the tabloid
publicity, the show was not a hit. Ruby Keeler moved to Los Angeles to star in films including seven with
her partner Dick Powell including 42nd Street and Golddiggers of 1933, singing hits like "42na Street" and
"Shuffle Off to Buffalo." STRIKE UP THE BAND was written in 1927 to be sung by Max Hoffman, jr., in
Strike Up the Band. But the first version of the show failed to open due to lyrics by Ira Gershwin that were
felt to be too controversial. A more patriotic 1930 edition with the song performed by Jerry Goff, Jim
Townsend and the Red Nichols Orchestra with Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, Glenn Miller, Jimmy Dorsey
and Jack Teagarden was a success. I LOVE YOU PORGY is from the Gershwin opera, Porgy and Bess. The
saxophone quartet tonight will give the first public performance of this arrangement. Tom Cheek lives in
Portland.
1
SUMMERTIME is also from Porgy and Bess. With lyrics by DuBose Heyward, it was sung onstage
by Abbie Mitchell to open the original version of Porgy and Bess.
