Ira Gershwin: The Art of the Lyricist Paperback - 1997
by Philip Furia
From his first major hit, the now classic "The Man I Love" (1924), to his last great success, "The Man That Got Away" (1954), Ira Gershwin wrote the words to some of America's most beloved standards. In this "clear, focused, highly readable study" ("The New York Times Book Review"), the older, less flamboyant of the Gershwin brothers steps out of the shadows to claim his due as one of American songwriting's most important and enduring innovators. 24 photos.
First line
ONE day in 1910 a second-hand piano was delivered to the Gershvin residence-evidently to their Second Avenue apartment in Manhattan, but it is difficult to be sure, since the Gershvins were a peripatetic family, changing homes some twenty times before their children had grown up.
