Gershwin–Funny Face, He Loves/ She, Adele and bernard, gg, 1927

Today, we want to spend some time diving deep into one of George Gershwin’s best love songs, with matching magical lyrics by Ira. It was never conceived of as a lush song, but later orchestrators turned it into one. We have three versions to show you the original, the 1957 remake and the 1959 Ella Fitzgerald/Nelson Riddle version.

First, here is Adele Astaire and Bernard Clifton, with George Gershwin at the piano in 1927.
