dbo:abstract
| - Ira Gershwin (December 6, 1896 – August 17, 1983) was an American lyricist who collaborated with his younger brother, composer George Gershwin, to create some of the most memorable songs of the 20th century.With George he wrote more than a dozen Broadway shows, featuring songs such as %22I Got Rhythm%22, %22Embraceable You%22, %22The Man I Love%22 and %22Someone to Watch Over Me%22. He was also responsible, along with DuBose Heyward, for the libretto to George's opera Porgy and Bess.The success the brothers had with their collaborative works has often overshadowed the creative role that Ira played. However, his mastery of songwriting continued after the early death of George. He wrote additional hit songs with composers Jerome Kern (%22Long Ago (and Far Away)%22), Kurt Weill and Harold Arlen.His critically acclaimed book Lyrics on Several Occasions of 1959, an amalgam of autobiography and annotated anthology, is an important source for studying the art of the lyricist in the golden age of American popular song.
